What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
Japan is a magical country, and Japanese samurai are also a special kind of existence in Japanese culture. The loyalty and bravery of the samurai was based on the system of the lord to whom he was loyal to rewarding the samurai for his contributions, and many historical records record that the samurai originated in China and became a samurai after entering japan. We all know that one of the ways in which Japanese samurai expressed their loyalty was through "suicide by caesarean section." So today we will talk about the most painful way of suicide in Japanese history, which has been done by only one person so far, which is very admired by the Japanese.
The suicide of a Japanese samurai by caesarean section originated from a thief, Fujiwara Yoshi, who invented the one-word caesarean section, and then slowly became a mainstream trend, and even chose to cesarean abdomen as one of the most noble ways of death of Japanese samurai. The Japanese samurai saw this as the most direct way to show their soul outwards as an expression of loyalty. However, the ancient Japanese samurai had strict requirements, of which the ten characters cutting the abdomen was the most standard, that is, the abdomen was cut into a cross, which was very painful, many people could not bear it, and it was not ordinary people.
The ten-character abdominal incision method itself is very painful, but there is also a three-character abdominal incision method that is even more powerful, called the most painful suicide method in history. There is only one person in Japan who can do it so far, and that is Takeshi Mizuyama, who was finally given the right to cut his abdomen because of various disputes between the Japanese shogunates.
On the day he committed suicide, he put on his wife's sewn white shoulder coat and set up the scene of the suicide. Then he picked up the dagger on the table, rolled the handle of the knife with cloth, and stood next to the supervisor, from time to time he could hear a wailing sound, blood splashing, he used a Kind of Gu's "three-character" abdominal cutting method, which means pulling three knives on the stomach, the pain is so great that no one in history has ever really been able to do it, but Ruishan has done it. Even after doing it, he bowed his head in thanks, and then the left and right intermediaries stabbed the knife into the flank, and after cutting him six times, Ruishan finally fell down completely, at the age of 37.
And Takeshi Ruishan also became the only person in Japanese history to commit suicide by cutting his abdomen in three characters, and was very admired by Japan and worshipped to this day.
