Sorry, grandpa

SASEBO, Japan - A scarecrow resembling an abandoned human skeleton forms part of a piece commenting on cases in which families were unaware of, or hid, the deaths of elderly relatives, in some cases to unlawfully claim their pensions, on Sept. 25, 2010. In the foreground is a sign reading, ''Are you there, grandpa...? Sorry about being unaware for 30 years.'' About 100 scarecrows have been displayed for the annual ''Onigigo Tanada Matsuri'' festival in rice paddies in the town of Hasami, Nagasaki Prefecture. (Kyodo)
