The dearth of litigation has resurrected Takarimatsu, a grisly legal tradition not seen for centuries. According to custom, a Japanese attorney must see his client's case to a successful conclusion or commit ritual suicide. A defeat in court, or even a settlement, can mean not only professional dishonor, but also death.

Tokyo attorney Shinji Nakagawa, 32, took his own life last year when his client insisted on settling his case rather than risking a lengthy court battle. Humiliated by his client's lack of confidence in his abilities, Nakagawa disemboweled himself with a sword before jumping in front of an approaching train.

"Japanese attorneys take their cases very seriously. To lose a case is to lose everything. It is very hard for Americans to understand this," said Makato Harayama.
