KAMISAMA NO SEPPUKU

KAMISAMA NO SEPPUKU

The collection is called Kamisama no Seppuku. Kamisama in this case means Goddess, but it refers to any kind of deity, as Japan has more than one God. Seppuku is a Japanese suicide ritual, mostly know as Harakiri in the West. It was originally performed by Samurai as a way of dying with honour and it has been romanticised as a beautiful way of dying by many. The collection then means the Suicide Ritual of the Goddess. It is basically the story of a Goddess who is punished by other Gods for falling in love with a human.
