Samurai Archives Japanese History Podcast
In this episode, I go deep into the history of Samurai suicide: Seppuku, from it's legendary origins to the modern day. All aspects of Seppuku are covered, from the proper methods, the ceremony, the types of cuts, as well as the physical and medical implications of cutting your stomach. I also look at the psychology of suicide and modern suicide theory as a way to understand the Samurai mindset, and also go over a multitude of historical examples of Samurai suicide. Everything you've ever wanted to know about Seppuku but were afraid to ask is all right here.
