“Seppuku, (Sape-puu-kuu) the Japanese formal language term for ritual suicide Hara-kiri (Har-rah-kee-ree).”

“The most conspicuous participant, other than the victim, was the kaishaku (kie-shah-kuu), or assistant, who was responsible for cutting off the victim’s head after he had sliced his abdomen open. This was generally a close friend or associate of the condemned.”

Who wants to volunteer as kaishaku?

I see a lot of hands up!!!
