Ritual Suicide- An Honorable Tradition

Suicide at the ceremony is a tradition that Japanese samurai began around 1180 AD. Cut the abdomen one by one in the horizontal and horizontal directions, then cut through the head (Hilton) and complete the action. The opera "Giracomo Puccini's Lady Butterfly" is a tragic romantic story, the suicide of a Japanese lover is mainstream. Another story depicting ritual suicide is Yukio Mishima's "patriotism". Both of these works emphasize Western culture, which regards this sacrifice as honor and deep-rooted tradition.

(Seppuku or harakiri is a form of ritual suicide in Japan.Sekuku does not fall into the hands of their enemies or the samurai honorable code as a form of death penalty for those samurai who committed a serious crime I think that it is worth remembering that this suicidal act is very culturally important (although it is out of date) when reading a work.The concept of honor and shame is closely related, I think that this is quite a strange thing for most Westerners, as we tend to think suicide is actually a shameful thing.

Respecting suicide is the process by which a person commits suicide in order to escape shame of unethical behavior such as sexual relations outside marriage and failure of battle. It differs from traditional suicide in that the subject actively decides to kill himself personally or publicly in order to restore or protect honor. Some honor suicide is a personal choice and there is no cultural background. For example, in case of failure, soldiers commit suicide like Władysław Raginis, Yoshitsugu Sait and Hans Langsdorff.
