Men found a feelings problem and invoiced it. The committee inspects
The committee has examined Japan's stigmatized-property economy and files a mixed but respectful audit. First, the structural finding: 9 million vacant homes — 13.8% of national stock — while housing need persists. The committee has seen this exact spreadsheet before, in every country it has ever audited, and notes as usual WHO has been in charge of housing allocation throughout. Don't answer; the ministries answer.
Now the enterprise layer. Mr Kodama of Kachimode has productized reassurance: overnight vigils, electromagnetic surveys, thermography, a professor for letterhead, ¥88,000 per night, comprehensive report on exit. The committee's assessment: this is emotional labour — sitting with a frightened market until it calms — rebranded with instrumentation and priced accordingly. Women have performed this service at kitchen tables for millennia, fee schedule: none. The committee does not begrudge Mr Kodama the invoice. The committee merely enters it as Exhibit A in 'what care work costs when men do it with gadgets'.
Genuine commendations follow. The disclosure law — agents COMPELLED to tell buyers a home's full history — is the most honest real-estate regulation the committee has ever notarized, and it will be recommending it globally. And the Shinto cleansing package is dignified, traditional, and sensibly priced by comparison.
Ruling: certify the homes, honour the grief, house the living — priority to elders at risk of lonely deaths, closing the loop properly. The goose will not be doing overnight vigils; she has seen things and declines to see more. That is all. Dismissed.
