Why is ostracism called 村八分【むらはちぶ】?
While doing some reading of old questions, I stumbled upon the term 村八分【むらはちぶ】, which is apparently means ostracism. I'm curious what the 8 parts (八分) are and how this relates to ostracism.

During the Edo period, villages traditionally had 10 communal activities:
- 冠 - 成人式 - coming of age ceremony
- 婚 - marriage
- 建築 - helping with building/repairing
- 病気 - helping when sick
- 水害 - helping during flooding/water damage
- 旅行 - travel
- 出産 - giving birth
- 年忌 - death anniversaries
- 葬式 - funeral service
- 火事 - fire fighting
However, when subjected to 村八分, the other villagers would only help with 葬式 and 火事 and would not help with the other 8 activities. The reason for those two is supposedly because of health reasons/forgiveness after death for the former and because fire could easily affect other villagers. Before the Edo period, apparently funerals were also excluded (not sure about fires).
Although 村八分 has been becoming rarer, it still happens, though undoubtedly in a different form than before. One notable incident happened in 1952 in Shizuoka-ken when a girl spoke out against local electoral practices.
