The author wrote a tale about a sorcerer in his childhood neighborhood. 'What it is--fable, philosophical allegory, lyrical satire, or just a story with pictures--perhaps only a bulbul could say.' It is more than a story for children. Translator Burton Raffel said, 'Mr. Mandel sparkles in all directions. ... He knows the value of speech and of silence. And all this is woven into a tale so effortlessly told that one reads it over and over, for the pure joy of Mr. Mandel's art. In short: a masterpiece.'
Illustrator Lo Koon-Chiu added a Chinese scroll in ink on many pages and on the cover.

Hari-Kiri is a definitive text on Japanese ritual suicide, also known assuppuku. To the average westerner, the word hara-kiri conjures up an image of excruciating, self-inflicted pain; of a deep, fatal incision. To the Japanese, this kind of suicide embodies the best qualities of courage, honor, and discipline. Through extensive research, author Jack Seward brings to the English-speaking public a dissertation on the subject that is thoroughly enlightening. Fluent in speaking, reading, and writing Japanese, he was able to glean information from ancient documentsmany of them scrolls in the Japanese archivesthat few foreigners have seen. The earliest writings on hara-kiri (known more formally as seppuku) are thus revealed, as are the intricate rituals surrounding the ceremony. "The major purpose of this book," says the author, "is to clarify the historical and sociological significance of a unique method of self-destruction." In fulfilling this purpose, author Seward has come up with a definitive work that is sure to arouse interest both as a scholarly effort and as simple, fascinating reading.
