Shizuko Nogi: Birth: unknown; Death: Sep. 13, 1912
Shizuko Nogi is the wife of the renowned General Maresuke Nogi. She and her husband lost two sons during the Russo-Japanese War, a conflict during which her husband earned both military honours for waging a successful siege on Port Arthur, and notoriety for losing nearly 60,000 men in the process. As an act of devotion to the Meiji Emperor, she and her husband committed ritual suicide after the emperor's funeral entourage passed their home. By doing so, they hoped to accompany the emperor into the spiritual realm. She was buried with her husband in Aoyama Cemetery.
