A collection of thrilling samurai tales tracing the history of
seppuku from ancient times to the twentieth century. The history of
seppuku -- Japanese ritual suicide by cutting the stomach,
sometimes referred to as hara-kiri -- spans a millennium, and came
to be favoured by samurai as an honourable form of death. Here, for
the first time in English, is a book that charts the history of
seppuku from ancient times to the twentieth century through a
collection of swashbuckling tales from history and literature.
