The Tatenokai was created in 1967 , recruiting its membership primarily from the staff of '' Ronso Journal '', an obscure right-wing College Newspaper . In an unusual move, the Tatenokai was granted the right to train with the nation's armed forces, the Japan Self-Defense Forces . In 1970 three Tatenokai led by Mishima briefly seized control of the Self-Defense Force's headquarters and attempted to rally the soldiers to stage a coup d'etat and restore imperial rule. When this failed, Mishima and Masakatsu Morita , the Tatenokai's main student leader, committed '' Seppuku '' (ritual suicide). MEMBERS |
