Yukoku is a classic piece of cinema starring Japanese author Yukio Mishima. Foretelling the author's own death four years later, the film tells the story of a disgraced Japanese nationalist as he works his way towards a ceremonial sacrifice.

Beautifully filmed by director Masaki Domoto with the assistance of Mishima himself, this film sparked a number of rumors on its release. After Yukio Mishima's tragic death in 1970, rumor had it that Mishima's wife destroyed every copy of the film available. This new DVD is based on a recently found copy unearthed at the author's old residence.
