In this segment of the video, the story of Iri Kimoto, a woman who lived locked up in a room for over a decade before dying from frostbite, is highlighted. Mental and physical disabilities were stigmatized in Japan in the 1900s, leading to the implementation of a law where families had to imprison their disabled children. This law was later removed in 1950, replaced with mental hygiene regulations directing families to provide treatment. The stigma persisted, leading some families to abandon their children in hospitals. The linkage to the anime Fruits Basket is discussed, noting that the depiction of the cat symbol as disgraceful and needing to be locked up aligns with historical treatment of disabled individuals.
