How did the practice of seppuku become an established ritual in Japan? Why would a Daimyo be willing to lose a Samurai in such a way?

by New_leaf999

I’m referring to voluntary seppuku not obligatory seppuku. Cases of dishonored Samurai willingly committing ritual suicide to restore their honor. Why would a Daimyo allow this to happen to one of their own Samurai? Wouldn’t the loss of such a highly trained and valuable military officer be a considerable loss to their own power?
