was watching a few episodes of the 43rd NHK taiga drama ‘shinsengumi!’ the 切っ掛け came when i found out that shingo katori played kondou isao in that drama, together with fujiwara tatsuya as okita souji.
there was this scene about haw yamanami went back to commit seppuku for desertion instead of running away with the woman that he loved. kondou and okita were talking about how he died admirably.
i cant really see what’s so admirable about slitting your own stomach and then having your comrade cut off your head for you.
