Description: In 1970, Japanese novelist Yukio Mishima took troops from his private force to army headquarters, held the camp commander hostage and, after addressing the assembled troops and urging them to follow the samurai Bushido ethic and pledge allegiance to the Emperor, committed seppuku - ritual suicide by disembowelment. As the practice of ritual suicide had disappeared from Japanese culture after the war, such an action by a respected writer and well-known public figure caused shock and incomprehension all over the world.

This is a fictionalized account in four segments of the infamnous and briliant Japanese twentieth-century author Yukio Mishima, which pararells events from his life with his work.
