The correct japanese term for this seems to be "kami no hirosode".

JohnMoser: The correct response to this play is to either punch the person in the head in recompense or request they commit hirakiri to restore their honor. In either case you are even; leave the stone in its new location.

Hand of Hair: The Japanese word for ritual suicide is "harakiri," not "hirakiri."

Anonymous: Harakiri or seppuku refers to "belly cutting" specifically, only one method of suicide. Jisatsu (自殺) is the general term for suicide
