The film sets in on November 25, 1970, the last day in Mishima\u2019s life. He is shown finis\u00adhing a manu\u00adscript. Then, he puts on a uni\u00adform he desi\u00adgned for hims\u00adelf and meets with four of his most loy\u00adal fol\u00adlo\u00adwers from his pri\u00adva\u00adte army.<\/p>\n
In flash\u00adbacks high\u00adlight\u00ading epi\u00adso\u00addes from his past life, the view\u00ader sees Mishima\u2019s pro\u00adgres\u00adsi\u00adon from a sick\u00adly young boy to one of Japan\u2019s most acclai\u00admed wri\u00adters of the post-war era (who in adult\u00adhood trains hims\u00adelf into the acme of mus\u00adcu\u00adlar disci\u00adpli\u00adne, owing to a mor\u00adbid and mili\u00adta\u00adristic obses\u00adsi\u00adon with mas\u00adcu\u00adli\u00adni\u00adty and phy\u00adsi\u00adcal cul\u00adtu\u00adre). His loathing for the mate\u00adria\u00adlism of modern Japan has him turn towards an extre\u00admist tra\u00addi\u00adtio\u00adna\u00adlism. He sets up his own pri\u00adva\u00adte army and pro\u00adclaims the rein\u00adsta\u00adting of the emper\u00ador as head of state.<\/p>\n
The bio\u00adgra\u00adphi\u00adcal sec\u00adtions are inter\u00adwo\u00adven with short dra\u00adma\u00adtiza\u00adti\u00adons of three of Mishima\u2019s novels: In The Temple of the Golden Pavilion, a stut\u00adte\u00adring aspi\u00adrant sets fire to the famous Zen Buddhist temp\u00adle becau\u00adse he feels infe\u00adri\u00ador at the sight of its beau\u00adty. Kyoko\u2019s House depicts the sado\u00adma\u00adso\u00adchi\u00adstic (and ulti\u00adm\u00adate\u00adly fatal) rela\u00adti\u00adonship bet\u00adween a midd\u00adle-aged woman and her young lover, who is in her finan\u00adcial debt. In Runaway Horses, a group of young fana\u00adtic natio\u00adna\u00adlists fails to over\u00adthrow the govern\u00adment, with its lea\u00adder sub\u00adse\u00adquent\u00adly com\u00admit\u00adting sui\u00adci\u00adde. Dramatizations, frame sto\u00adry, and flash\u00adbacks are seg\u00admen\u00adted into the four chap\u00adters of the fil\u00adm\u2019s title, named Beauty, Art, Action, and Harmony of Pen and Sword.<\/p>\n
The film cul\u00admi\u00adna\u00adtes in Mishima and his fol\u00adlo\u00adwers taking hos\u00adta\u00adge a General of the Japan Self-Defense Forces. He addres\u00adses the gar\u00adri\u00adson\u2019s sol\u00addiers, asking them to join him in his strugg\u00adle to rein\u00adsta\u00adte the Emperor as the nati\u00adon\u2019s sove\u00adreign. His speech is lar\u00adge\u00adly igno\u00adred and ridi\u00adcu\u00adled. Mishima then returns to the General\u2019s office and com\u00admits seppuku.<\/p>\n
