What you are about to read is an account taken from A.B. Mitford’s work “Tales of Old Japan” circa 1871 (Illustrated). Seppuku (hara-kiri) was a Japanese suicide ritual often performed by Samurai. Up until this point no one in the Western world had witnessed it, or even believed that it was real. The events below detail an actual eyewitness account of Japanese ritualistic suicide by a foreigner. A foreigner who happened to record and write about the event in detail…and in English.
The Foreword is done by Daniel DiMarzio. Additional details of hara-kiri are provided as well. Also included is the original English version of the now famous "Forty-Seven Ronin" story circa 1871.
