Suicide in Japan

[Shiroisan]

In Japan, suicide is historically an acceptable way to atone for sins- especially if it's a sacrifice for someone else's benefit. Amongst the olden tales I've read of Japan, the suicide I've come across has been glorified.

Inheritable financial burdens and family debt are rampant, and suicide can in some cases be a way out of it- to protect your family from it.

They also have very long work hours, and it's well known that lack of sleep is one of the largest factors correlated with depression.
