Seppuku in Arabia: of Sports, Irate Princes, Ancient Samurai Rituals……….
His Highness does not look in the mirror everyday; otherwise he will see ‘mea culpa’ marked all over….Or perhaps not.
Lucky for His Highness, he ain’t Japanese or something like that; otherwise he’d be expected to resort to Seppuku. I bet he never even heard of Yukio Mishima either, but no matter; he can read up on both, provided he has the time, of course.
"Half" of the Seppuku ritual is performed every Friday around noon in public squares all over Saudi Arabia, mostly to poor migrants who are hardly Japanese or Smurai. But that is probably is not the more painful half.
I won’t get into the gory details here........
Cheers and Ramadan Kareem
