Yes. I remember walking past this Army Base daily in Mar 1981 - not knowing about this incident until much later when the movie was released. RIP MY sama 🎉🙏

I'm stay forever grateful to you for this video. Thank you so much. Dear Mishima, may he rest in peace forever.❤🩹 I wish you eternal happiness and peaceful days.
As you can see from the soldiers in this audience, the U.S. has boned Japan in just 25 years after the war. The samurai spirit is gone, and the pride of being Japanese is dead.
Btw his house still remains in Minamimagome in the same condition it was when he left, and is managed by his family. It seems that his study has also been left as it was back then.
you must understand that as member of the losing side of WW2 that your population is in the hands of a government that's contrived and totally in control of foreign capital that has control of your total politics through capitalism. You must as a population break free of this paradigm by following the extra-electotal measures

He wouldnt have wanted to participate in it. It seemed he was sick of the cowardly political bureaucracy and wanted life to return to how it used to be during the edo period or before.

Author Yukio Mishima's reasons for his self-inflicted death are intertwined with complex and multifaceted factors. Yukio Mishima was a significant figure in Japan's literary realm, and interpretations of his life and death vary among experts and researchers. However, generally speaking, the following factors are often mentioned: Nationalism and Loyalty: Mishima had a strong interest in Japan's traditions and nationalist values. He admired the Self-Defense Forces and resonated with Japan's restorationist movements. He also held beliefs in traditional Japanese bushido spirit and loyalty. Novel "The Sea of Fertility" and the Incident: Mishima wrote the novel "The Sea of Fertility," in which he depicted the inner lives of young individuals in the Self-Defense Forces. Concerns about the political turmoil and leftist movements of the late 1960s were reflected in his work. Then, on November 25, 1970, after the novel's publication, Mishima led a group of Self-Defense Forces members in an attempted coup. However, the coup failed, and Mishima ended his own life. Self-Evaluation and Sense of Failure: While Mishima held a high self-opinion regarding his works and artistic achievements, he also experienced internal loneliness and a sense of failure. The failure of the coup might have been a significant blow to him. Bushido and Honor: Mishima valued the concepts of bushido (samurai code) and honor. It's possible that he intended to express his beliefs through his act of self-inflicted death. Being true to the principles of bushido and personal ideals might have been crucial to him. Yukio Mishima's self-inflicted death resulted from a complex interplay of many factors, and uncovering the exact motives behind it may be challenging. Nevertheless, his life and works continue to be remembered as part of Japan's literature and history.

Music at the start is some kind of midi of the third movement to Phillip Glass' violin concerto, if anyone was wondering.
This American movie portrays facts exactly like a documentary. In the end, Mishima was seppuku. His actions shock and confuse Japanese society. Japan's economy at that time was growing, surpassing the 1940 level and trying to rise further. No one felt the need for a coup. On the contrary, Mishima's actions reminded the Japanese of the nightmare between 1936 and 1945, when the civilian prime minister was assassinated and the Army robbed politics. Instead of mourning Mishima, the media and intellectuals at the time criticized it thoroughly.

@kelman727 The meaning is right there in the video with Mishima's actions and those of his followers. He turned what he wrote into truth. Ultimately, he saw the futility of it, but still ended up practicing what he preached to the very end. That takes a really strong person. While other writers and artists collect social problems as mere fodder for their artwork and do nothing to advance their solutions, he actually made an effort in line with his thought. You have to respect that on an existential level, even if you think he's an eccentric. It shows a devotion that is wholly absent in a world ruled by money and comfort.

@@Ken_Scaletta Yes, I've read his works and biographies about him, have you? First off, he didn't believe Japan should be "ruled by an Emperor" (he was actually in favor of "democracy" btw), insomuch as have a figure like the Emperor to be worshipped in a religious fashion. However, the Emperor worship was symbolic, not literal, he considered the idea of the Emperor as a representation of the Japanese people and their culture. He criticized the actual flesh and blood emperor openly and was threatened by other nationalists for it. Ultimately, at the heart of the Mishima incident wasn't an actual attempt to change the government and give all power to Emperor, for one because he saw it to be futile. It was theater. He planned to die that day and turn the "coup" symbolic -- essentially turning his life into a "line of poetry written with a splash of blood", it was the natural conclusion of his philosophy. Read Sun and Steel. This is all I'll give you. Go do your own research.
In one of his biographies, his mother supposedly said they should not have brought white roses for his funeral - which are traditional in Japan - but red ones. Her explanation: "For the first time in his life Kimitake [Mishima's real name] accomplished what he always wanted. Be happy for him."
