Koohii stories:

1) [takoman] 10-3-2008(226): For Japanese, when the mind's eye (the sideways eye) feels guilty for something bad that the body has done, there are two penaltys to choose from. One, you can say I'm sorry. Two, you can commit suicide by sabre. Why, oh why, do so many Japanese executives commit suicide at the first sign of scandal when all the have to do is say I'm sorry to get off the hook. (on yomi: バチ, バツ).

4) [kaminix] 10-8-2008(48): This kanji is a timeline. First we have the eye wittness observing the crime, then we have the prosectuor talking about the crime in court, finally we have the guilty being penalised for his crimes. Eye to words to action.

5) [uchifly] 17-2-2010(38): (Seppuku) The greatest PENALTY in Japan: You close your EYEs, say your last WORDS, put the SABER in…
