Ruby Sphere
A question about Japanese symbols or perhaps culture or I don't know what..?
I've been reading "Madame Butterfly" recently, and there are questions I'd like to ask.
"She had a sword in her lap <...> It would have been very beautiful to a Japanese, to whom the sword is a soul. A golden dragon writhed about the superb scabbard. He had eyes of rubies, and held in his mouth a sphere of crystal which meant many mystical things to a Japanese."
Does it really mean anything?
"Then she placed the point of the weapon at that nearly nerveless spot in the neck known to every Japanese, and began to press it slowly inward."
Does such a spot really exist? Where is it and why is it nerveless? And..is it still known to every Japanese? I mean, are the traditions of "dying with Honour when one can no longer live with Honour" still taught and do they play some role in Japanese life?
I know I'm being chaotic, but I really want to know. Thank you 
My late wife became enthralled with the japanese history.
She particularly enjoyed a book titled Shogun.
