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.
