More straightforward than Yoshida's two previous ruminations on revolutionary hubris, this was made two years after 11-25 and reconstructs some of the events leading up to 2-26, with significant consequences for Japanese militarism and society. The focus is on a writer, Ikki Kita, perhaps as a way of reflecting on Mishima's failure 34 years later; it suggests a relationship may exist between sociopathologies such as military dictatorship and libidinal pathologies (so to speak) such as masochism.
