Japanese Graves hooked up to Internet

You know a country is really, really advanced when even QR codes can be found on graves. This populous country has seen QR codes being used in nearly everything and everywhere, and this time even the dead are not spared. All you need to do is point your phone at a particular QR code and you will be able to be directed to a corresponding web link, where you can then read up on the person's biography (and whatever else information volunteed by the deceased's next-of-kin, of course.
