seribualamat.blogspot.com —Yorozu is not the famous person. He came from a modest family. The war has been looming on the death was a conflict between Clans Monobe and Clan Soga. The peak of the conflict occurred after the war, is after the death of Emperor Bidatsu. From the time the two feuding clans in the year 587, which has impressive world is not the greatness of Soga or weakness of Monobe, but loyalty and courage of one of his followers, named Yorozo. He is known as a daredevil who ended her life for the sake of defending his Emperor. The story of bravery and fidelity Yorozo recorded on the books of the "Chronical of Japan" made two years after the incident.

Monobe clan is a clan who embraced the religion of Shinto. And when power weakened, Clan Monobe and Clan Soga utilize this situation with "Political Wedding" where they marry a daughter of Clan Soga with Clan Monobe. The Soga clan trying hard so that Buddhists get into Japan while Monobe Clan who rejected with hard with any beliefs other than Shinto. This causes the two clans experience the collisions which excellent over the years. However, because the Soga has supporters in Monobe itself and coupled the power of Monobe was being weakened, in the end, this feud and winning Sogo managed to kill Emperor Bidatsu. Lived Moriya no Monobe, the only remaining barrier to Sogo.

A follower of Clan Chief Monobe no Moriya the great named Yorozu from Totoribe. He was ordered to lead an army with a very large amount to keep the House Chairman in Naniwa. When he heard that the Chairman of the Clan had died, he immediately went with his horse at night. He went to the village of Arimaka in the District of Chinu and, after passing the House of his wife he was hiding in the hills. The Court responded to this incident and announces, "because Yorozu has the purpose of evil and defeated and he was hiding in the hills so his entire family should be killed! This command should be in consent without any questions.

Then Yorozu dens of himself out on the Hill because of his own. He carries a sword and looked to a spear in his hand. His clothes are torn and dirty torn, his face showed sadness that was very insightful. The court officials sending hundreds of soldiers to besiege it. Yorozu very scared and he was hiding in the lush bamboo while tying a few stems and shake to make the soldiers were confused. And when the bamboos that sway, the soldiers were hooked, they immediately ran the lead to lush who rocked it. Yorozu then draws his bow and each soldier hit by a DART. This makes the soldiers were afraid and did not dare to speak to her. He then loosens the bow and bracket on her arm, and then he ran toward a hill. The army was continuing to urge the Yorozu, rained down with an arrow from the banks of the River, but none of them succeeded in wounding Yorozu. Then the soldiers were chasing and approaching Yorozu and, creeping on the River, draws his bow and on knees Yorozu. Then, immediately pulled out his bow and son Yorozu prepares his bow, archery (in the direction of the army). And in a State of helpless, he fell down on the ground and shouted: "protectors of the Emperor, one who boldly will serve to defend the glorious Emperor — that's what I want. But no one asked my truth, and in fact, now I'm in a position that was terrible. Let one of you talk to me so that I know I will be killed or made prisoners. "

The soldiers ran towards the Yorozu archerying and start again, but he tried to shy away from darts and, pulling his bow, killing more than three dozen people. Then, he pulled out his sword and break his bow into three, he had to bend his sword and threw it into the river. Finally, he pulled out a small knife which he brought and cut his throat, and then he died.Governor of Kawachi reported on the death of Yorozu to the Palace. Later, the Palace issued an order late: "her body into eight Pieces, and send each amply cut into eight provinces, then this will be relayed on each pole hanging." When the Governor will do the command and cut the corpse into eight Yorozu, suddenly sound is the rumble of Thunder and rain with downpours.

Later, a white dog on observing Yorozu, staring at the ceiling and then look down and walk while howling while accompanying the corpse of Yorozu, and finally took the head of his master with his mouth and lay it on the ground. Then the dog was lying next to the body of Yorozu and do not eat or drink until he eventually died there. Governor of Kawachi, very impressed with the strange behavior of dogs, and he reported it to the Palace. Officials are very touched to hear that story and issued a Royal command: "that Dog has behaved with an extremely rare on Earth and it should always be remembered even until the next centuries. Order to make graves Yorozu family bury the corpse! "then, in accordance with the order, the family built a packed Yorozu near the village of Arimaka and that's where they bury Yorozu and his dog.

The story of the death of Yorozu was written long before the soldier's code of ethics was created and developed in Japan. His attitude towards the defeat of nearly the same as the model of a defeat of World fighters is being written right now. And it is clear here that the soldier ethos of Japan had existed long before made the rules and principles of the code of conduct as a soldier.

When Yorozu runs hiding in the hills, and the horrors of Yorozu when besieged by the army, is doubt Yorozu that pops up but then he shows his courage at the last moment. This indicates that a hero is not the Yorozu, immune to fear and doubt, but he is also an ordinary human who is human has the desire to survive, but in urgent circumstances could bring a great courage and strength. And once he makes a final decision to act, Yorozu move is not appropriate, since it moves the bamboo and he cut his throat. It is like the tales of the defeated heroes at a later day, which moved by the conditions to show his courage.

Exposed knee arrow, he finally realized that his escape was not possible for him. After killing the enemy can he did, he broke two of his main weapon and pierced his knife in his throat rather than be arrested and bring shame. At the time, the year 587, harakiri is far from being the life of the soldier. Therefore Yorozu chose to end his life before may struggle with this sadistic way. But that is not his views but the strength to be able to carry out an Honorable attitude until finished.
