One must love this Samurai saturated culture !. An ultimate admittance of guilt
and dishonor. So different to our world where political sleaziness would try to
show us only a poker face and take 'a fifth'.
maybe some government leaders in america could learn a lesson from this minister.
He was no samurai, he did not commit seppuku.
Although he probably commited suicide for his lost honour,
it might be for other reasons as well.
I wish our politicians in the USA had this kind of Honor! There would definitely be a lot less of them!
'maybe some government leaders in america could learn a lesson from this minister.'
Clinton would never do that.
Who'da thunk.
