MATOU
It has direct meanings like “to wear, put on, tangle, roll up,” and it is often used figuratively.
I put on my body.
I can not see all of my body for a lifetime.
Tissues make up my body are kept being renewed, and they will vanish someday.
The body without contents will not remain, and where the contents without the body go?
Will they keep remaining?
Like Snakes and cicadas, most parts of their outer layer of the skin slough off at once and become new.
Although what is left is not a dead body, it still has a perfect shape of the animal and it has no life. Is it an evidence of its life? Is there an evidence of my life?
‘Matou’ also sounds like “willing to wait” in Japanese.
I’m waiting for my death.
‘Tsukimatou’ means “to haunt.”
It always haunt me and don’t go. My body haunt me until the day I die.
‘Soumatou’ revolving lantern
An expression describes an occurrence that many visions appear in one’s mind as shadow cast by a revolving lantern. It happens when people have a brush with death and past memories come and go randomly and quickly.
‘Mattou’ means “to complete.”
I completed my life.
