"Asano Naganori, the daimyo whose suicide the 47 ronin avenged, wrote a death poem in which commentators see the immaturity and lack of character that led to him being ordered to commit seppuku in the first place." - Opinion? Original Research? Hardly NPOV, but is there a respected scholar who voiced this view or just some Otaku? |

The original of this article give the length of the poetry units as 5-7-7-5-7. I altered it to conform to the information in waka. If anyone knows that these death poems were of a different form, please change it back. DJ Clayworth 15:21, 26 May 2004 (UTC)
Death poems were not restricted to just those who committed ritual suicide. Many Japanese poets and monks wrote their own death poems as waka, tanka, or haiku. Shiki, for example, wrote three haiku just before his death from tuberculosis. There are a couple of books available on Japanese death poems, so it should be too hard to fill this article out with better information.

If someone could find an external link to Mishima's death poem, I think it'd be a great contribution.--Chopin-Ate-Liszt! 19:09, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
