== Suicides ==

[[Misao Fujimura]] (1886 – May 22, 1903) a Japanese philosophy student and poet, is largely remembered due to his farewell poem directly on the trunk of a tree before committing suicide by jumping from the Kegon Falls.<ref name="suicide note"/>

The story was soon sensationalized in contemporary newspapers, and was commented upon by the famed writer [[Natsume Soseki]]. This led the famed scenic falls to become a notorious spot for lovetorn or otherwise desperate youngsters to take their lives ([[Copycat suicide|Werther Effect]]).<ref>{{Cite journal| last = Iga| first = Mamoru
