seppuku

As a result, I was more familiar with Mishima’s life — the turn to ultraright nationalism, the attempted coup and his ensuing death by seppuku — than with his art.

So, I commit first-date seppuku and tell him about my lens and my vision loss.

The rogue warrior whose forces he defeats calls for the young Toranaga himself to serve as his second in the ritual of seppuku.

Mariko’s entire family was executed for it — by her father, who committed seppuku after being forced to carry out the act.

He said such shame could only be washed away by committing seppuku - a form of suicide by disembowelment, also known as hara-kiri - at a meeting of the Japanese cabinet after Kishida's return.
