Kurome was born in 516 CE in the Japanese Archipelago, near present-day Nara. Her small village held about 90 people. Of three children, she was the first. Kurome's family's faith was Shinto. At 1, she died of dysentery. Her body was buried simply, for a child under seven was said still to belong to the gods.

Really hammers home an important perspective: we are so lucky to be alive right now, no less with the relative abundance many of us take for granted.
