Seanus: Nah, the samurai was just for demonstration and cultural preservation. The Japanese are so much more disciplined than many Western nations. What about the Yakuza? I am sure if I google it, I will find an attack in Japan using a sword cutting off someone's hand.

I have heard from people who have lived and visited Japan that it is over all one of the safest countries in the world but safe or otherwise, there are always nutters.
A MAN rammed a lorry into a crowd of shoppers, jumped out and went on a stabbing spree in central Tokyo yesterday, killing at least seven people and wounding ten others.
The killings are the latest in a series of grisly knifings that have stoked fears of rising crime in Japan.
