Default AfterSeppuku ??

This thread will discuss where the name comes from and I will post several articles that will give us a rough understanding of Fuedal Japanese Culture and how this site ties into it.

AfterSeppuku.com

Some of the origninal members will know/remember that I have a deep interest in Bushido and Feudal Japan. One of my last posts on a different forum, before leaving that forum, was a wikipedia article on the Ritual of Seppuku: Assisted Suicide by Disembowelment. It is sometimes known as harakiri, the Japanese word translating to "cutting the center or belly".

So, I left that forum and started the daunting task of forming my very own. I felt like I had suffered a kind of (although very mild) death. Somehow the two thoughts came together and began thinking, what comes after an honorable death such as Seppuku? What do you do after that?!?!


Hence, the name: AfterSeppuku.
