Women have their own ritual suicide, jigai. Here, the wife of Onodera Junai, one of the Forty-seven Ronin, prepares for her suicide; note the legs tied together, a female feature of seppuku to ensure a “decent” posture in death.

(and since its a cut to the jugular vein, jigai can be performed without an audience.)

and the ugly earring made it to print (portland monthly dec. 2006)
