Founded in 2019, Yamato Magazine is a UK-based publication that celebrates Japanese culture, worldwide.
The magazine was created by author and copywriter Jamie Ryder. Growing up in Manchester, UK, Ryder wanted to bring Japanese culture to him by writing about it and spreading awareness across the UK and beyond. As a copywriter, he helps Japanese-inspired and hospitality brands increase sales and connect with their customers through the written word.
He’s also a Sake Sommelier Association certified sommelier and international kiki-sakeshi who educates people about Japanese drinks. He’s the author of Japanese Fighting Heroes: Warriors, Samurai and Ronins, a stealth help book about famous Japanese figures and what we can learn from them about mental health, leadership and business. He’s also written A History Of Alcoholic Spirits: How Our Favourite Tipples Changed The World, a book that traces the hidden histories of the world’s most popular spirits, including shochu, awamori, baijiu and soju.

This is so fascinating. I love Japanese poetry and am excited to learn more about Japanese culture (and hope to learn how to write good haiku and other forms of poetry). Your blog looks like a hidden treasure chest I can’t wait to open. Thanks for what you are doing and for sharing your knowledge. Also, thanks for following my blog.

You followed my blog, I’m grateful. But now that we are on Japanese culture, what exactly is Seppuku?

Thanks for following back! Seppuku refers to the Japanese concept of ritual suicide that’s heavily associated with the image of the samurai.

What leads to it? Or under what conditions is one required to perform it?

It’s an extremely complex subject that’s tied to honour and the idea that it was a more noble death for samurai who’d committed treason against their masters and other crimes.
