Reply to comment by OneBlueHopeUTFT in TIL about the Kyujo Incident that occurred on Aug 14, 1945 where several Japanese officers occupied the Japanese Imperial Palace in an attempted coup of the Emperor to prevent him from surrendering to the Allies. They murdered several people and when their plot failed, they committed suicide. by ClownfishSoup

Honor in Japanese culture is HUGE! Although they don't seem as extreme in this regard today as history shows you can still see it in Japanese culture today. I.E. the pride they take in the things they produce and their craftsmanship.
