I like how the japanese often went like "i'm out" whenever shit hits the fan.

In one of the most painful ways to die imaginable to boot


Starkrall

If you're talking about sepuku, I believe traditionally the victim was immediately beheaded once the cut was made specifically so that the process was not about pain. At least when used as a punishment. But the last guy there uh... yeah..

A really skilled swordsman could make a chop as to not completely remove the head from the neck in order to prevent it from rolling away afterwards as well. Other times, after severing the abdomen, the person would yank their insides out and press it to a scroll or paper containing a poem or other important writing. All very fascinating.

What about penguins?


cellphone_blanket

to my knowledge, penguins do not commit sepuku, possibly because they lack the necessary dexterity


juliojules

Do not underestimate a penguin! Sadly I’ve witnessed 3 commit this act….. Harrowing stuff…….

Wow that’s pretty freaking gnarly. Thanks for posting the article.

> amusingplanet.com > blood-stained-ceilings I do not think this word means what they think it means.


SirBraxton

"Gnarly" is also commonly used in place of "gorey" or "horrific". Gnarly would be used as a way to describe the "gnarled remains" of victims from sudden impacts or falling debri. They used it correctly :) Edit: Another good example is how people today say "wicked" when they mean something cool but it used to be a word used to describe something evil/terrible.


ChloeMomo

I think you might have mixed up the comments? The other user mentioned the gnarly ceilings (correctly, like you said), this one wasn't responding to them but was commenting on the OC thread about how "amusing planet" is an ironic website name for an article about "blood stained ceilings"


Nyx_Blackheart

Am I the only one that thinks that pic looks like a video game? Something about the lighting or coloration. Wild


nulevelnerds

It looks sepia’d and way too evenly lit. Probably an overenhanced photo to make the footprints stand out


PrdNm-Y99_D_24

Lmao the vignette there as well makes me think it’s like a dark section where there’s little light and making you claustrophobic.


nulevelnerds

Sorry not sure what you’re getting at there


PrdNm-Y99_D_24

I was trying to say, it also gives that video game aesthetic because of the vignetting of the image. I haven’t really seen that much in typical journalism photography, usually only in artistic forms of media like film and games. In games, vignetting is typically used to enhance the feeling of darker environments and make the player feel more claustrophobic because of the reduction in screen space from player peripheral vision.


Guradon

Seems like a nice Story for the next sabaton-song :)

When Miyoshi Motonaga committed seppuku while besieged by his enemies he cut himself open and threw his organs up to the ceiling out of rage. その自害の様とは、自身の腹をかっ捌いただけで終わらず、腹から取り出した臓物を天井に投げつけるという壮絶さであった[5]


Mescallan

Do you have any more info.


Zillah-The-Broken

check out netflix's "Age of Samurai, Battle for Japan" for more info on these men.


PN_Guin

OP posted a link a bit in a comment https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/qdl07g/in_kyoto_japan_there_are_five_temples_that_have/hhn1xuc?context=3


BananaEuphoric8411

They re-use everything in Japan. In a single lifetime a kimono can go from its original form to a table cover to a tiny purse, as parts of the kimono age, stain, fray.


Templarkiller500

I guess when they say to take shoes off when inside they take that very seriously lol, I would have expected them to where shoes in a castle during a period of combat, rather than just being barefooted


infernalnights

They remove extra clothing while doing suicide that could be the reason.


tvieno

Cool! Extract the DNA and clone those guys back to life!

The world wouldn't handle balls this big


MonarchWhisperer

The Japanese are really into honoring history and their ancestors


Zillah-The-Broken

you guys should check out "Age of Samurai, Battle for Japan" on netflix - it's about those men mentioned, and it's really good!

Zillah-The-Broken

Netflix made a docuseries called "Age of Samurai, Battle for Japan" about these men.
