WAY OF THE SAMURAI 4 SHINOBI DUEL ARMS HARA FULL
To perform harakiri is to simply perform the stomach cutting on one's own, and to perform seppuku is to perform the full ceremony with proper clothing, knife, posture, and sheet/platform, with witnesses and decapitator present. The words actually share the same kanji, albeit in reverse: "seppuku" is the on-yomi note Sino-Japanese, borrowed from the Middle Chinese words tset (cut) and pjuwk (belly) reading of those kanji (with the part meaning "cut", read setsu alone, first), while "harakiri" is the kun-yomi note Native Japanese reading with the part meaning "belly" ( hara) first. Many people have incorrectly believed that harakiri is a more vulgar term, but it is not true. Harakiri (often misspelled as "hari-kari" or worse) is a more in-speech term for the same thing but refers very simply to the act of stomach cutting, while "seppuku" is the term for the proper ceremony. Seppuku is a centuries-old Japanese rite of suicide - literally, "stomach cutting". For a true Samurai Warrior Poet, this is the only third option you can take to preserve your honor. Those gaijin may say it with flowers, but samurai say it with bowels. You've been pigeon-holed into choosing between obeying foolish or evil orders or abandoning your warrior ideals. You're a samurai and you're either very depressed, very pissed off, or both.
