However, that was not Seppuku's sole purpose. According to historical documents, it was a death penalty that was used until 1873. Before that, the lords also used Seppuku to negotiate peace. They will accept a truce if the other person commits suicide. In addition, there is a view that the samurai were killed by others is a great shame. They would rather have their stomach cut open to commit suicide rather than be arrested and tortured. In modern times, the Seppuku rite has resurfaced in Japan, as a way to restore honor when it fails and to be used as a means of expressing opposition.
