Interesting Japanese Dining

I just read an article that takes the notion that a lot of Asian dining rituals are odd to a completely new level.

The above picture introduces the new Japanese dining experience that I am now calling "The Surgeon Cannibal."

According to the article I read, it is "...a pinata-like 'body' is carefully crafted, then stuffed with edible goodies in a red sauce. More 'sauce' is somehow embedded into the outside covering - 'skin'... - of the body so that it will appear to bleed when cut into..."

The red sauce would have to be absolutely magnificent for me to even try this.

What do you guys think about this? Would you try it?
