More than 70% of people in Japan die in hospital. With the inevitable rise in the death rate in the super-aging society, how can we ensure that people experience a more peaceful death? We hear from Myoyu Tamaoki, a nurse and Buddhist monk. She shares her experiences as a clinical chaplain in Japan and discusses the situation in Taiwan where the "quality of death" is ranked at the top in Asia.
