Yamanami's death (Shinsengumi)

Yamanami Keisuke commits seppuku in the Episode 33 of the 2004 NHK Taiga drama "Shinsengumi."

I couldn't be tempted in any case to highlight this kind of event if Sakai sang's acting had failed to make the scene such a sublime piece. Irresistible! (He looks even sexy… ^^)

After all, he is one of the several samurai guys in Japan’s history to have conducted real, fully-termed seppuku. Believe or not!
