Kanshi refers to suicide through remonstration. Not common, this involved killing one's self to make a point to a lord when all other forms of persuasion had failed. Perhaps the best known example of this is provided by [[Hirate Kiyohide|Hirate Nakatsukasa Kiyohide]] ([[1493]]-[[1553]]), who commited suicide to make a youthful and irreverant [[Oda Nobunaga]] change his ways.
