In The Temple of the Golden Pavilion , celebrated Japanese novelist Yukio Mishima creates a haunting portrait of a young man's obsession with idealized beauty and his destructive quest to possess it fully.

Mizoguchi, an ostracized stutterer, develops a childhood fascination with Kyoto's famous Golden Temple.

While an acolyte at the temple, he fixates on the structure's aesthetic perfection and it becomes his one and only object of desire.

But as Mizoguchi begins.
