Jisei: the Japanese Death Poem www.japanpowered.com

Jisei is the “farewell poem to life.” These poems were written by literate people just before their death.
Instead, specific kinds of death are used: shinju, “lover’s suicide;” junshi, “warrior’s death for his lord;” senshi, “death in war;” roshi, “death from old age.” Death is linked to the type of life a person lived.
