 note = {It is said that there were in Japan nearly 600 occurrences of the legend of “Abandoning an elderly
person in the mountains”. According to this legend, which is not always clear in folk studies, in agricultural
societies of low productivity, the amount of food and other circumstances led to the abandonment of the
elderly who had lost their ability to work.
In modern society too, frequent occurrences of old people dying in solitude, or being murdered by
someone who has tired of giving them care, are a phenomenon which can be thought to have a link to this
tradition of abandonment. There is a big difference between the background of the medieval period, in
which the legend was mainly created, and that of present society, in which“ abandonment” is now
occurring, so the two cannot be understood in the same way. However, in this paper, I will present points of
commonality that seem to exist between them.},
