Samurai’s Guide to Harakiri. The ritual suicide, also called “Harakiri” or “ Seppuku”, was performed in front of an audience, and samurai sliced open their stomach - hence “hara” (stomach) “kiri” (cutting) - with a short blade called a tantou, moving the dagger from right to left. Their intestines would then spill out onto a small tray, and the samurai was then decapitated. In some instances, the samurai was not decapitated and died from blood loss or shock. As this illustration points out, there were different styles of disembowelment: single-line disembowelment (ichimonji-bara), crosswise disembowelment (jumonji-bara), crosswise disembowelment in modified T-shape (henkei jumonji-bara), and vertical disembowelment (nambu-bara). The above Japanese illustration depicts these four types as well as pointing out how the blade should cut into the flesh.
