FYI: That's not how it's spelled, women would wear white when committing seppuku, and women would use a small knife and got for a slash across the throat, and only the men would go for the three abdominal cuts before the second beheads. Japanese swords don't have tassels. As an image, the lighting is poor, the tan line where the watch usually is is distracting, and this could benefit from more contrast. On a personal level, I find this distasteful, and an image that orientalizes and trivializes something that in the context of Japanese history has deep spiritual and societal meanings and connotations. If this is meant as a joke, it's not funny. 1
Nice studio shot. I think if the wrinkles weren't so prevalent in your curtain, it would have helped a lot. They are in real competition with the smoothness of the robe. Still, well lit and executed (lol)
Another sword lover! Let's hope your's does better than mine is. I think t he angle or the way she's holding the, what, kodachi? Wakizashi? could have been done a little better so that it was perhaps a little less subtle. I don't know. I'm no expert on seppuku :)
