Nevertheless, the intent of seppuku is to save face by removing stomach. This is for the benefit of those who can watch it performed. The Kamikaze's of World War II did not honor the fatherland by crashing into mountains where no one could see them and no one was hurt. They honored the fatherland by crashing into living, seeing things. Therefore, the allusion to Nietzsche. By the way, if the Kamikaze's were sworn to kill themselves for the glory of their fathers, why did they wear helmets and goggles? This whole business about what you call Japanese Culture is very telling. It explains why there are no more Samurai There are no more samurai because the Emperor decreed so. and why Japan lost the war in the pacific. As my good friend, George S.
