the ancient egyptians believed that toxins formed as a result of decomposition within the intestines. this perception still exists, as evidenced by the plethora of advertisements for colon cleansing. in combination with the tough image of samurai committing seppuku, this leads to phenomena such as the australian death metal band disembowelment and songs such as' self disembowelment' by devourment, with lyrics such as' i must release these vile insects from inside of me' - although the lyrics as a whole are quite difficult to follow [ 2 ] .

the japanese custom of seppuku (also called hara - kiri), or self - disembowelment, was long practiced as a ceremonial rite among samurai. japan’s use of kamikaze suicide bombers during world war ii was a precursor to the suicide bombing that emerged in the late 20th century as a form of terrorism, particularly…
however, death by disembowelment is an excruciatingly drawn out process. thus, warriors who chose to die in this less than optimal this manner win awe and respect from their peers. the romanticisation of such deaths as dramatic display of bravery and determination elevated this method of suicide above other, less painful ways, to die .
seppuku (切腹) is a form of japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment. seppuku was originally reserved only for samurai. part of the samurai bushido honour code, seppuku was either used voluntarily by samurai to die with honour rather than fall into the hands of their enemies, or as a form of capital punishment for samurai who had committed serious offenses, or performed because they had brought shame to themselves. the ceremonial disembowelment, which is usually part of a more elaborate ritual and performed in front of spectators, consists of plunging a short blade, traditionally a tantō, into the abdomen and moving the blade from left to right in a slicing motion .
disembowelment, or the removal of a person’s bowels often through a horizontal incision in the abdominal area — as it appears to have been done in this video, has been used in a number of countries as a method of torture and execution. it is almost always fatal without medical attention, but death is prefaced by several hours of severe pain .
this is somewhat of an idealisation since disembowelment was, originally, just one of several methods for committing suicide. many great warriors, such as kusunoki masashige, killed themselves in other ways and were no less venerated for it. at these older times, harakiri was mostly a way for warriors to go down fighting. no special honour or deeper meaning was attached .
in this edgar award - nominated mystery, john maddox roberts takes listeners back to a rome filled with violence and evil. vicious gangs ruled the streets of crassus and pompey, routinely preying on plebeian and patrician alike. so the garroting of a lowly ex - slave and the disembowelment of a foreign merchant in the dangerous subura district seemed of little consequence to the roman hierarchy .
my first case observing the slow torture of a victim condemned to death was the disembowelment of a young woman in spain. the pretty dark haired girl, name teresa, was captured during a secret meeting of traitors, and in spite of her pleas of innocence, had been convicted of treason herself. the king was particularly concerned that the group of seditionists spent a long time suffering before their death .
while martial suicide is a practice found in a lot of cultures, the act of seppuku, or ritual self - disembowelment, is peculiar to japan. the earliest known acts of seppuku were the deaths of samurai minamoto tametomo and poet minamoto yorimasa in the latter part of the 12th century. seppuku is known in the west as hara - kiri. however, the term seppuku is considered a more elegant usage .
as we had removed the most easily obtained intestines, any more disembowelment would require a larger opening. the gutting knife was produced once more, and inserted at the far edge of the existing wound. pressing in and then down with much force, the flesh was opened up in a descending gouge. a large flap of the victim' s belly opened up with a somewhat wet flopping noise. her attempts at screaming were almost inaudible, as she was no longer able to use her abdominal muscles .

blood loss in this case is still going to be very severe - nearly all the abdominal organs are pretty amply supplied with arterial blood. it' s a bit hard to work out precisely, but the combined cross - sectional area of the arteries supplying the liver, kidneys and intestines appears to be about equivalent to that of a femoral artery - so if some other aspect of disembowelment doesn' t do the victim in first, and nothing is done to stop the flow, i think that death through loss of blood must occur in a couple of minutes at most .
encarta says that for many centuries there were an estimated 1, 500 instances of voluntary and obligatory hara - kiri per year. but in 1868 or 1873 (sources disagree) the emperor abolished obligatory hara - kiri, and voluntary procedures became less frequent as well. still, during world war ii many japanese soldiers committed hara - kiri rather than tolerate capture. finally, hara - kiri (meaning
belly cutting
) is not a word that most japanese use. the common term for the practice in japan is
seppuku
which roughly translates to
self - disembowelment .
wallace was tried in westminster hall, sentenced, and drawn through the streets to the tower of london. he was then drawn further to smithfield where he was hanged but cut down still alive. he suffered a complete emasculation and disembowelment, his genitalia and entrails burnt before him. his heart was then removed from his chest, his body decapitated and quartered. wallace achieved a great number of victories against the british army, including the battle of stirling bridge in which he was greatly outnumbered. after his execution, wallace’s parts were displayed in the towns of newcastle, berwick, stirling, and aberdeen .
the outlets of a swimming / spa pool are connected to a powerful circulation pumping system. if the outlets are blocked, whatever is causing the blockage will be exposed to the suction force of the circulation pumping system. the circulation pumps will be sucking on whatever is causing the blockage, causing a vacuum. at this point, it will be very difficult to remove the blockage without turning off the circulation pump (s). if the blockage is a person, then tragic consequences can occur, including drowning, disembowelment and transanal evisceration, which is where internal organs are forcefully drawn out through the anus .
not true. the bowel can and does slither out of the abdomen when opened. it can happen after abdominal surgery when, for various reasons, the wound dehisces. i' ve seen it once. because the patient was on a bed that burbles air through sand - like pellets, the bed surface moved constantly. the bowel fountained out before any of us could turn the bed off. it was quite horrifying. the patient was taken back to surgery immediately, but much of the large intestine had already died. another patient with almost total disembowelment was a stabbing victum. his intestine fell onto the sidewalk. he was in the icu for 7 months .
hanging was the standard form of capital punishment for the common man, but beheading by a swordsman could happen for nobles. those who committed high treason could be sentenced to being hanged, drawn, and quartered. this involved hanging the criminal almost to the point of death, cutting them down, emasculation, disembowelment, beheading, and then finally cutting the body into four parts. this method of execution was abolished in 1870. part way through the 18th century, the english gov' t reformed to policy to hanging the body until death, then drawing and quartering. women convicted of treason could be burnt at the stake, but by the 18th century, this was rare .
on his way to the top of the social totem pole, caesar never failed to take advantage of an opportunity to make enemies. his knack for angering senators is epitomized in a quote of his, circa march 14;' you can' t please everyone, but you can piss off every last one of them, and when that happens, you get stabbed thirtysomething times and die a horrible, gruesome death.' unfortunately, this gave certain brutuses and cassiuses ideas, and the next day he was stabbed thirtysomething times and died a horrible, gruesome death. the event (his gory, lengthy stabbing and subsequent puking of blood and explosive disembowelment) has been made into three major motion pictures .
in cases where men were brought to the table unconscious, a splash of water was used to wake them up. often the disembowelment and castration of the victim would follow, the genitalia and entrails burned before the condemned' s eyes. in many cases, the shock of such mutilation killed the victim. finally the victim would be beheaded and the body divided into four parts, or quartered. quartering was sometimes accomplished by tying the body’s limbs to four horses, each horse being spurred away in a different direction. typically, the resulting parts of the body were gibbeted, or put on public display, in different parts of the city, town, or country, to deter potential traitors. the head was commonly sent to the tower of london. gibbeting was abolished in 1843 .
to be drawn and quartered was the penalty ordained in england for the crime of treason. it is considered by many to be the epitome of cruel punishment, and was reserved for the crime of treason as this was deemed more heinous than murder and other capital offenses. the grisly punishment included the drawing of the convicted to the gallows, often by horse, the hanging of the body until near death, disembowelment and castration, followed by the beheading of the body, and finally the quartering of the corpse, or the division of the bodily remnants into four pieces. the punishment was carried out in public, with the ridicule of the crowd adding to the criminal' s suffering. this punishment was only applied to male criminals; women found guilty of treason in england were burnt at the stake. it was first employed in the thirteenth century and last carried out in 1782, although not abolished until 1867 .
draughon draws: n. c. neighbors learn hogs are' more equal'
— the family of a wake county girl who was nearly killed by a wading pool drain will not have to await years of appeals and uncertainly following a record $ 25 million jury award .
the family of valerie lakey and sta - rite industries of wisconsin reached a settlement tuesday morning before a jury was to consider whether additional, punitive damages should be awarded in the case. the agreement calls for monday' s $ 25 million compensatory damages award to stay intact, but the family agreed not to seek additional punitive damages, which could have meant a payout of millions more by sta - rite. meanwhile, the company agreed not to appeal monday' s verdict and award .
the agreement eliminates the possibility that the record award, the largest damage award in north carolina history, could be reduced on appeals, which can drag on for years .
valerie' s reaction ?
i' m just happy my parents are out of court ,
she said .
with tuesday' s settlement, valerie' s family has won damages totaling $ 30. 9 million. sta - rite has agreed to send a $ 25 million check to the lakeys' attorneys by the of the month .
valerie, 9, was 5 years old when she went to the medfield area recreation club in cary with her father on june 24, 1993. the drain cover in the wading pool had been removed by someone, and valerie sat on the opening. the suction was so strong that four adults could not pull valerie from the drain .
about 80 percent of valerie' s intestines were pulled from her body. as a result of the injuries, valerie must be fed intravenously for about 12 hours each day, and she may face liver and kidney transplants .
last year, the medfield club settled with the lakeys for $ 500, 000. wake county, which certified the pool, settled for $ 2. 5 million, and the maker of the wading pool pump settled for $ 2. 9 million .
the lakeys' attorneys, john edwards and david kirby, argued that sta - rite had failed to take action to prevent injuries even though it knew of at least a dozen cases where people had become trapped or injured on pool drains. a california child was killed in a 1974 accident similar to valerie' s; in 1981, a boy in henderson was killed the same way .
but attorneys for sta - rite had argued that the recreation center was negligent for not properly fastening the drain cover .
sta - rite, a subsidiary of wisconsin gas co. , is one of the nation' s largest makers of pool equipment .

a government committee’s testimony translated by heat street, a conservative site owned by news corp. , on friday spotlights beheadings, gouged - out eyes, and sexual abuse at the bataclan theater last year. the islamic state terror attacks killed 130 across the city and 89 at the concert venue alone .
a translation provided by the website show france’s commission of inquiry asking an investigator about the remains of victims on the second floor of the theater. the questioner said that injuries attributed to shrapnel seem dubious given that one man had his testicles removed and placed in his mouth .
“some of the bodies found at the bataclan were extremely mutilated by the explosions and weapons, to the point that it was sometimes difficult to reconstruct the dismembered bodies, ” an prosecutor said. “in other words, injuries described … may also have been caused by automatic weapons, by explosions or projections of nails and bolts that have resulted. ”
“would those have put a man’s [ testicles ] in in his own mouth? ” the committee member fired back .
according to this testimony, wahhabist killers apparently gouged out eyes, castrated victims, and shoved their testicles in their mouths. they may also have disemboweled some poor souls. women were stabbed in the genitals – and the torture was, victims told police, filmed for daesh or islamic state propaganda. for that reason, medics did not release the bodies of torture victims to the families, investigators said .
but prosecutors claimed these reports of torture were “a rumor” on the grounds that sharp knives were not found at the scene. they also claimed that maybe shrapnel had caused the injuries .

the garrote very common once, is no longer sanctioned by law in any country though training in its use is still carried out in the french foreign legion. the garrote is a device that strangles a person to death. it can also be used to break a person’s neck. the device was used in spain until it was outlawed in 1978 with the abolition of the death penalty. it normally consisted of a seat in which the prisoner was restrained while the executioner tightened a metal band around his neck until he died. some versions of the garrote incorporated a metal bolt which pressed in to the spinal chord, breaking the neck. the victim may pass into a state of severe and painful convulsions and then pass into death. this spiked version is known as the catalan garrote. the last execution by garrote was josé luis cerveto in october 1977. andorra was the last country in the world to outlaw its use, doing so in 1990. however garroting is still common in india according indian author and forensic expert parikh .
flaying is the removal of skin from the body. like an animal is flayed in preparation for human consumption, or for its hide or fur; this is more commonly called skinning, flaying is similar method applied onto humans. flaying of humans was used as both a method of torture and execution, depending on how much of the skin is removed. flaying is an ancient practice, used by assyrians and ming dynasty .
where the victim is dipped in a big bowl. this method was used in russia and europe 3000 years ago and they used oil, acid or water. this type is considered slow and extremely painful. this penalty was carried out using a large cauldron filled with water, oil, tar, tallow or even molten lead. sometimes the victim was immersed, the liquid then being heated, or he was plunged into the already boiling contents, usually head first. the executioner could then help speed their demise by means of a large hook with which he sank the person deeper. an alternative method was to use a large shallow receptacle rather than a cauldron; oil, tallow or pitch then being poured in. the victim was then partially immersed in the liquid and fried to death .

a french government committee’s testimony on friday revealed publicly for the first time the beheadings, gouged - out eyes, and sexual abuse at the bataclan theater last year. the islamic state terror attacks killed 130 across the city and 89 at that single location alone .

save your breath... you' ll need it to blow up your date !
so i take it he wasn' t exactly hanging out with friends and family when he exited stage right. .
disclaimer: this is not entirely my own; i based it off a writing from a website .
while i have always practiced my skills in the effort to persuade reticent or evil persons to confess or provide information, my experiences took me to a number of places where i was able to observe executions. my personal preference is not to involve myself in the slow and painful executions of the condemned, but rather to persuade; though it is true that my methods sometimes result in the eventual death of the victim, it is not the primary purpose .
it is remarkable how much the human body can be damaged without causing immediate death. death may result over time due to the deterioration and of the damaged area and failure to heal; but if certain areas of the body are left intact, the victim remains alive to deal with the agony inflicted on her for many days. if damage to the brain, the heart and lungs are avoided, and care is given to prevent the loss of too much blood, the victim is perfectly capable of surviving for long periods of time .
several guards were tasked with causing her slow death, and being a good acquaintance with the chief prison guard, i was invited to observe. i agreed willingly, hoping to learn new techniques that might be useful in my own work, and was admitted to the prison on the morning after the victim' s conviction and sentence. the torture was not to take place in the holding cell, where the girl was secured in stocks which had prevented any significant movement for the last several days. the guards took me to the cell first, where several women were held, chained or held in most uncomfortable restraints. the youngest of the lot, a young woman with long raven black hair and a pretty face, was released from her restraint and dragged from the room .
as we reached the torture chamber, the girl was thrown to the floor. she was wearing a typical bar maid' s dress, apron and bodice; all were stained and dirty from her work, and later from the stress of imprisonment. two of the guards quickly relieved the girl of these clothes, tearing them from her as she struggled feebly to resist .
when she was reduced to her tiny panty and stood before us at last, she revealed the most nubile, well formed and pleasant female form i had observed in many a year. as is clear from my writings, torture is best inflicted when the victim is naked, as the feeling of helplessness and vulnerability is enhanced; thus i had seen many women naked in my time as an interrogator. this woman was medium height, thin, but with beautiful curved breasts, slight ripples from her ribs seen under the flesh of her sides, a thin waist and pleasingly firm buttocks. the flat expanse of her abdomen was well toned with a hint of definition, almost as if she was an athlete, and her legs were strong and shapely .
it seemed almost a tragedy to tear and destroy this impressive girl; the guards lifted the girl from the table and dragged her to a large cross of wood that stood against the wall of the chamber. there the woman had her wrists securely tied to the upper beams, and then her ankles forced apart and tied to the lower beams. the ropes were pulled very tight, and she cried out as they were tightened, begging for mercy for the first time. no mercy was given, of course, and the ropes were tightened until there was no possibility that she could struggle free. they cut into her wrists sharply, causing some blood to seep out, and her hands and feet quickly turned purple as the blood circulation was cut off .
the beautiful shape of the young woman' s body was accentuated by her position: hanging from her arms, stretched to show her naked upper body to full advantage, legs spread and tied apart. her breathing was quick, the pain of her bonds taking hold as her weight pulled her down. she writhed, attempting to gain freedom, or at the least to find a less painful position .
one guard produced several items to be used during the torture of the girl. a knife, a hook of sorts, and a bucket. the knife was like those that fishermen use for gutting a fish, short and curved back on itself, with the sharp of the blade facing to the inside of the curve .
the knife was placed against the flat belly of the girl, who looked down and saw the sharp point pressing against her flesh. a small trickle of blood marked deep red against the white smoothness of her flesh. as she saw what was about to happen, she screamed in panic, swearing that she was innocent, that she would do anything to avoid her fate, begging for mercy. the blood from the puncture wound in her upper belly trickled down between her legs .
with a sudden thrust, the knife was plunged deeper into her flesh, and then pulled hard to the side. the screams changed from panic to agony as her flesh was ripped apart, a gash about six or seven inches long opening up halfway between her belly button and her chest .
the knife was removed, and i observed that because of the curve in the blade, it had penetrated sufficiently to slice open the belly, but not enter or tear the internal organs. perfectly suited to the job, the knife had opened her up, ready for exploration, without doing any serious damage to her insides .
the poor girl' s screams had actually subsided some, as i suspect the shock of what was happening overwhelmed her. she looked down, saw the gash in her abdomen, and then tilted her head back and stared at the ceiling as she sobbed .
the bucket was placed below the girl, and just in front. there it waited for a while, as the executioner guard drank some wine and chatted with the rest of us about the crime the girl had committed. he estimated that she would live at least a day, and perhaps longer, before succumbing to infection and shock .
after being fortified with several goblets of wine, the guard took the strange hook in hand and approached the hanging girl. the hook had two sharp prongs at the end, pointed and hooked around on themselves in a most evil manner. slowly, he worked it into the gaping wound in her abdomen, sliding it in and then around inside of her. at last he seemed satisfied and began slowly pulling it out. as the hook appeared once again, we could see it had penetrated and was pulling out a thin white tube of flesh. this tube was only about an inch in diameter, perhaps a little more, and while it was covered in red blood, the tissue looked more like a pale purple and gray .
the small intestine was pulled from the opening, slowly sliding out like an eel or wet worm. when a foot of it had been pulled out and lay hanging over the condemned belly, the guard removed the hook from where it pierced the organ and re - inserted it deep within the girls abdomen. pushing in further, the iron rod which ended in the hook disappeared inside her .
the girl was sweating profusely, water gathering and trickling down her beautiful body, breasts wobbling as she struggled, chest rising and falling as she screamed. she looked down and saw how she was slowly being torn apart. the horror of it overwhelmed her and she slumped unconscious for a moment, though only for a moment. the rod was slowly being removed and as the hook appeared once again, it showed that more of the intestines had been grabbed and were being pulled out. three feet of bowel now hung out of the wound and down the belly of the girl .
grabbing the bowel, the guard pulled slowly but surely, and the snake - like slimy mess slid easily out of the opening. the girl hung her head, watching her intestines being removed slowly. enough had been removed that they now began to gather in the bucket below, wrapping around in a circular pattern, covered with blood and slime .
the woman was clearly in agony, but the greater part of the pain was in knowing, and actually seeing, how her body was being slowly violated and taken apart. she sobbed, cried, and screamed when strength allowed her, no longer begging for mercy. her hands had turned a deep purple, fingers swollen and unmoving. blood now covered the front of her flesh from her belly downward, making a stark contrast to the beauty of her smooth skin above, the shapeliness of her breasts, neck, and the beauty of her face and hair .
as more of the bowels slid out and filled the bucket, i took the opportunity to come close to the victim and observer the operation more closely. the opening in her upper belly was low enough so as not to damage her chest or diaphragm, which accounted for her continued ability to scream. her abdomen, which had been flat before, appeared to be becoming slightly concave. somewhere around 10 or 12 feet of her bowels had been removed at this time .
while there was blood, most of it was from the initial gash to gain entrance to her insides. this was no longer bleeding, and the operation continued, removing her bowels without causing any immediate life threatening damage. an unfortunate side effect of this torture – she lost complete control of her bowels, and defecated through her panties and on the floor below her, in violent, large bursts. the stench was rather oppressive for some time after .
when almost 25 feet of the thin, slightly lumpy gray tubing had been pulled from her, the guard stopped, and lifted a large handful up to the woman' s face. intestines were smeared over the beautiful cheeks, lips and eyes… and then looped over her neck so that she wore her own bowels like a necklace .
no longer screaming with agony, the woman was still in great pain but lacked the strength to express it. her body was shaking uncontrollably. and then, just as the guard moved to remove the last bit of intestine, she weakly vomited and then fainted .
a bucket of water was produced and splashed on her face and upper body. this cleaned some of the slime from her and restored some of her previous beauty. it also roused her from her faint, and she looked down at the remains of her belly and screamed with renewed vigor .
her bowels were still connected to her insides, and ran back up into the gash in her belly. pulling harder, the guard slid more of her entrails out, and quickly exposed a much larger, wider organ that was deep red in color. there was very little of this exposed before it stubbornly refused to yield more of its length .
the interior of the torture chamber had become saturated with terrible odors, and was almost breathable. at my suggestion, all of us decided to go wash and refresh ourselves at the local tavern, to return later and finish the task .
after a good meal and several bottles of wine, we returned to the prison and descended to the chamber. the offensive odors within struck us hard, as if it were a physical wall. the woman hung from the cross, breathing with a rasping labored effort. flies had gathered around her entire body, infesting her extracted entrails, her open belly, and her face .
with experienced hands, the knife sliced out her remaining large intestine, and her bowels fell free of her body, no longer hanging out. blood pour freshly, mixing with the blackened dried blood from several hours before .
pressing around inside the opened abdomen, the guard then applied the knife once again, cutting swiftly. he produced a lumpy glob of flesh and explained it was the internal part of her woman' s organs. this horrible visage actually made my stomach churn, seeing the woman' s internal organs removed and displayed in this manner as she looked on in a haze of agony, hanging from the cross .
after some time, it became clear the woman was slipping in and out of consciousness, but might live for some time. i suggested that we get the process over with, and help her to her final reward (or punishment, as the case was for this traitor). the oppressive stench of that room was very unpleasant, and i had no more wish to view the woman' s suffering .
in response, small, straight blade was produced. i took it to the woman, who looked at me with glazed, red eyes as i reached into her abdominal cavity. placing the tip under her diaphragm, i lanced the blade into her heart. fresh blood flowed to her mouth, and her eyes rolled back. soon there was no more movement in her body or face .
remaining there for a moment to assure she was dead, i jerked the blade away from her belly, and left the chamber. as i left, the other guards were cutting the ropes from her wrists and ankles, and there was a heavy thump as her once beautiful lifeless form fell to the ground on top of the remains of her disemboweled organs .
it was a lesson for me, watching this woman' s death by torture. and while her fate was deserved as a treasonous wretch, i decided that my activities were to be restricted to the art of interrogation and persuasion from that time forward .

as the human spirit was believed to reside in the stomach, slitting the stomach open was considered to be the most straightforward, and bravest, way to die. therefore, this act was a privilege reserved for the samurai. commoners were allowed to hang or drown themselves, and samurai women could slit their own throats, but only a samurai was allowed to commit seppuku. by committing seppuku, a samurai would be able to maintain or prevent the loss of honor for himself and his extended family. therefore, a samurai who committed seppuku was often revered after his death. defeated or dishonored samurai who chose surrender rather than suicide often found themselves reviled by society .
by the edo period, the act of seppuku had become a fully developed ritual. great emphasis was placed on a strict adherence to the ceremony. in a typical seppuku, a large white cushion would be placed and witnesses would arrange themselves discreetly to one side. the samurai, wearing a white kimono, would kneel on the pillow in a formal style. behind and to the left of the samurai knelt his kaishakunin (his “second” or assistant) .
the duty of the kaishakunin was to prevent the samurai from experiencing prolonged suffering by cutting the samurai’s head off once he had slit his stomach. contrary to popular belief, the ritual of seppuku for a samurai did not technically involve suicide, but inflicting fatal injury, leaving the kaishakunin to strike the death blow. the kaishakunin needed to strike the samurai’s neck hard enough to sever the spine but also delicate enough to still leave the head attached. as severing the head completely dishonored both the samurai committing seppuku and the kaishakun, the role of “second” was given only to men who possessed superior control of their swords .
a servant would place a wooden table before the samurai, which would contain a sake (rice wine) cup, a sheaf of washi (paper handmade from mulberry bark) and writing utensils, as well as the kozuka (disemboweling blade) although the samurai would be allowed to use his own sword if he preferred. the sake cup was then filled from the left by an attendant. the samurai then emptied the cup in two drinks of exactly two sips each, as one sip would show greed, and three or more sips would show hesitation. this would make a total of four sips (the character shi, which means “four”, also means “death”) .

before committing seppuku, a samurai would write a jisei (death poem) which was considered important as a person facing imminent death was believed to have special insight into the nature of death and the value of life. the poem should be graceful and natural, usually in the theme of transient emotions. mentioning the samurai’s impending death in the poem would be considered poor form and uncouth. this was also important for the samurai as the poem would serve as a written glimpse into his nobility of character and how he wished to be remembered after his death. asano naganori, for example, whose seppuku precipitated the famous incident of the “forty - seven ronin”, is said to have written a particularly poor death poem, possibly because he implied the impending end to his life, thereby showing his immaturity and lack of character .
according to tradition, when he felt ready, the samurai would loosen the folds of his kimono, exposing his stomach. he would then lift the knife with one hand and unsheathe it with the other, setting the sheathe to one side. after mentally preparing himself, he would drive the knife into the left side of his stomach, then draw it across to the right. he would then turn the blade in his wound and bring it upward. most samurai did not have to endure this last agony, as the kaishakunin would cut their heads off at the first sign of pain. the cut in seppuku carried out to its finish was known as the jumonji (crosswise cut), and to perform it in its entirety was considered a particularly impressive seppuku .
a samurai must keep his composure even on the brink of death, showing strength and full control of his mind and body in his last moments. any previous reputation of a samurai would be meaningless if he were to die in an unseemly manner. however, although a calm and composed state was ideal for the samurai committing this act, the eighteenth century book hagakure and other edo works relate stories of samurai losing their composure just before committing seppuku, and in some cases had to be forcibly decapitated.
