Encountered the topic watching Shogun. It’s a dark and disturbing subject.
Shinjū (心中) is a Japanese term meaning “double suicide”, used in common parlance to refer to any group suicide of two or more individuals bound by love, typically lovers, parents and children, and even whole families
Lovers committing double suicide believed that they would be united again in heaven, a view supported by feudal teaching in Edo period Japan, which taught that the bond between two lovers is continued into the next world,[1] and by the teaching of Pure Land Buddhism wherein it is believed that through double suicide, one can approach rebirth in the Pure Land.
The word shinjū is formed by the characters for “mind/heart” (心) and “center/inside” (中). In this usage it literally means “heart-inside” or “oneness of hearts”, probably reflecting a psychological link between the participants
