In February 1936 a group of Japanese young officers attempted a coup (Gekokujō), inspired by the ideas of Ikki Kita they wanted to restore full power to the Emperor. The faction within the military they were adherents of (Kodoha/Imperial Way) saw the Soviet Union as Japan’s biggest threat. And urged the military to prepare a preemptive war. Within the country they demanded the break up of the Zaibatsu (A Nouveau riche industrial conglomerate). The brother of the Emperor, Prince Chichibu, and much of the military and the navy was sympathetic to the cause. Yukio Mishima’s novella ’’Patriotism’’ is about an army officer who learns about his comrades plans to make the coup, morally unable to join them and morally unable to tell the authorities he commits Seppeku with his wife.
