It would be wrong for me to reveal the details of the story Tsugumo tells. What I can say is that it is heartbreaking.

Sometimes it takes more courage to do the right thing than to do the traditional thing. Following the Bushido Code frees its adherents from the need to arrive at their own moral conclusions. "Harakiri" is a film reflecting situational ethics, in which the better you know a man the more deeply you understand his motives.

Japanese classical film directors take their legacy and Heritage and tell , a once upon a time story , story that happened once to this village or this man , in this one It's about dignity , regret , suffer , and playback .
