Cut Belly begins with words from a written journal of the Inoue family, and ends with the same, but in the morning it is a flattering visit with nothing to do, and in the afternoon and evening it is "tampering with the official history", and its meaning is chilling. . Aside from these, the oriental classical aesthetics at the core of the tragedy is really fascinating. In the end, the scene where Jinyun raised the armor that represents the soul of the samurai hit me too hard. The Inoue family of the rookie actually brought three "hot weapons". To deal with him, my interpretation here is that as a Jinyun who truly follows his own samurai way in a sense, he would rather cut his belly or be killed by a knife than to sully his samurai soul, so he threw it before he died. He opened his armor and quickly cut his abdomen to end himself.

Hara-Kiri quotes

  • Hanshiro Tsugumo: The greatest delicacies taste of nothing when one dines alone.

  • Kageyu Saito: The ronin from Hiroshima, Hanshiro Tsugumo, committed hara kiri. All our own men died of illness. The house of Iyi has no retainers who could be felled or wounded by some half-starved ronin.
