Background The practice is described by Chinese chronicles, describing the Wajin (ancient people), inhabitants of the Japanese archipelago, going as far back as the seventh century. According to the ''Records of the Three Kingdoms#Book of Wei (魏書), Records of the Three Kingdoms'', Book of Wei, vol. 30, a decree in 646 forbade ''junshi'', but it obviously continued to be practiced for centuries afterwards.
