		On November 25, 1970, Mishima and 4 members of the Tatenokai under a pretext visited the commandant of the Ichigaya Camp, the Tokyo headquarters of the Eastern Command of Japan’s Self-Defense Forces.

		The biographies of Nathan and Scott-Stokes do seem to suggest the two were lovers and that their suicide was to emulate the seppuku of samurai homosexual lovers.
		In any event, it is a common rumour that Mishima founded the Tatenokai to find a young lover who shared his views, and this deserves mention in the article.

		Yukio began to emerge himself more in patriotism and traditionalism, as he grew older, studying forms of Japanese martial arts and becoming a devout and almost fundamentalist believer in the power of Japan and its Emperor.
		This fascination with the patriotism of Imperial Japan and the samurai spirit of devotion, eventually leads to Mishima joining an extremist militia group called Tatenokai, also know as the Society of the Shield.
		In November of 1970, Mishima and a small group of fellow Tatenokai patriots seized the military headquarters in Tokyo.

		The Tatenokai's basic principles stated that "communism is incompatible with Japanese tradition", that "the use of violence is justifiable" against communism and the left wing, and that the Japanese "identity" resides in the Emperor (205.)
		Just what Mishima's view of the Emperor was, and what the exact purpose of his little army was, seemed constantly open to speculation.
		He could not connect his feelings about the Emperor as a "culture-symbol" with the "militaristic" path he was driving at with his group of students.
