Referred to as the Seppuku graphic by the creators, the passage describes the lieutenant's ritual suicide in graphic detail; the design layers that scrawled text over a central figure of a man drawing his sword, against a multi-color ground of pink, turquoise and red, punctuated with kanji characters, the Japanese name ジョン・シルバー (John Silver), and a small red postage-stamp graphic at the chest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maker is the same studio responsible for the 1975 'Terry … Who Needs a T-Shirt?'
