Quick note on what 'Sokushinbutsu' is incase it causes confusion. It's a specific type of Buddhist self mummification technique, ending in the box with the bamboo sticking out of it like in the pic. Since it's a pretty specific thing, I don't the word can really be translated without an explanation.

"When the devout felt death approaching, his disciples would lower him into a pine box at the bottom of pit three meters deep in a predetermined spot. They would then pack charcoal around the box, insert a bamboo airway through the lid, and bury their master alive. Sitting in total darkness, the monk would meditate and regularly ring a bell to signal that he was still alive. When the ringing ceased, the disciples would open the tomb to confirm their master’s death, remove the bamboo airway, and seal the tomb."
