About 1 million people die every year in Japan. In other words, people die every 31 seconds. Some people died of illness. Some people died of car accidents. Some people committed suicide. There are many kinds of death in this world. I think that most dead are irritated and ridiculous. But in the Middle Ages, Japan experienced glory, but incredible death. I call it Harakiri. Harakiri is basically a way to kill himself by warriors to avoid being humiliated or loss of honor, especially by cutting with a sword.
Harakiri is a custom to commit suicide by calling Japanese crouch their own stomach or crouch. This term is also used to describe suicide for personal honor. Harakiri was born in feudal Japan in order to prevent samurai from being humiliated by enemies. As all classes of people practice, Harakiri often acts as a final gesture of loyalty to a dead boss, or as protest against specific government actions and policies. This approach eventually became very common in the end, for centuries they estimated the estimated 1,500 deaths per year. Harakiri was abolished in 1868
Honor is one of the most important things for warriors. If the warrior feels humiliated, he commits seppuku. Seppuku means ritual suicide (Japan, World Culture - Rex Shelley 104). It is also known as Harakiri, meaning abdominal splitting. This self-solving way is the only glorious death form of shameful aristocrats and warriors. This self-solving method is still practiced in Japan. Samurai is faithful to their master. In fact, they are more faithful to them than to their emperor and family. Like samurai, they have unwritten code called Bushido. Warriors never lose their face. If they are humiliating, they will commit suicide. They are living a normal life and we strive to improve their combat skills. Their philosophy is liberation from fear, and for all these reasons, samurai is the ultimate patience fighter.
