In the 1800s, many in Japan took offense to the proliferation of Europeans in their country. A group of samurai murdered 11 French sailors in what became known as the "Sakai incident". France demanded a response, so the Japanese government rounded up those responsible and sentenced them to death.
"However, at the execution, indignant samurai threw their own intestines to shock the French who were observing the execution."
