Okay Guys,
Who knows this one...
There is a specific term for when a bushi kills himself in protest against the actions of his lord. What is it?
Tony? Hajime?

:confused:
There was a case about 5 years ago where a long time employee of Bridgestone tyre company demanded to see the president of the company. Upon meeting the president, he committed seppuku in the front of president as a protest about downsizing.

Interesting to know about Bridgestone. Too bad they didn't have someone in their Quality Control department kill themselves...

Tony, you know me. I am not a subtle guy. If I thought you should kill yourself, I would just tell you.

Junshi is martyrdom; to die in the line of duty. "Shinju" is a double (lovers) suicide, and "muri shinju" is when one partner unilaterally decides to kill the other, or the who family, before putting the gun in (usually his) mouth.
HTH.
