This is known as the concept of â??Faceâ?? and unfortunately, led to suicide. It is a combination of reputation, dignity and honor. Causing someone to lose face lowers them in the eyes of their peers, while saving or building face raises their self worth. It should be noted that â??Faceâ?? is an Asian concept as opposed to exclusively Japanese.

Explain the concepts of shame and honor in Japanese culture?
Honor is a very important thing in Japanese culture even more so than the Chinese. They'd rather die than surrender (the way of the samurai's or their Bushido) and there is no way to say surrender in Japanese, it just doesn't exist. They would rather seppuku (basically suicide) than bring shame or dishonor their family and suicide is tolerated in Japan and some think it is a way to maintain one's honor.
