- Summary:
- The Japanese novelist and playwright was one of the outstanding writers of his generation, but his legend rests less on his literary output than on his suicide by hara-kiri in 1970. Shot on location in Japan, this programme reconstructs the story of this complex and contradictory man against the background of his country's wartime humiliation and astonishing post-war recovery. It includes interviews with friends and associates and also readings from his books.
