>The tradition of lovers ending their lives together, called shinjū
Lover suicides we're not a tradition.
Wiki suggests otherwise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinjū
I never heard of it before today so know nothing about it. Wikipedia has an extensive discussion of it, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinj%C5%AB.
Is this page false with bad references maybe, or was it just a literary tradition and not happening in the real world?
