A (thankfully) staged Seppuku or Harakiri ceremony (from the late Edo period) of ritual suicide. A Japanese man has opened a cut in his abdomen in front of two witnesses. As soon as the blood begins to flow, a relative or friend (a 'second') will cut off his head to prevent him from suffering. - Year: circa 1910s
