In the spring of Showa 19, the frail and somewhat stuttering young man, Kojiro Gomoku (played by Raizo Ichikawa), arrives at Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion) in Kyoto with a letter from his father (played by Jun Hamamura) to visit his father's old friend, Daisuke Tayama (played by Ganjirō Nakamura). As the head priest, Tayama, feeling the bond of friendship with the late friend, kindly takes in this helpless young man. Gomoku, remembering his father's high praise for Kinkaku-ji, earnestly appreciates the temple's transcendent beauty. However, the unbearable reality, including the unrefined tourists tainting the temple and his disappointment in the revered head priest, leads him to a breaking point. To preserve the sanctity of Kinkaku-ji, he is willing to set it ablaze... This film is adapted from Yukio Mishima's original work "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion" and won three awards at the 1959 Japan Blue Ribbon Awards: Best Actor (Raizo Ichikawa), Best Supporting Actor (Ganjirō Nakamura), and Best Cinematography; it also won Best Actor at the 1959 Kinema Junpo Awards and Best Supporting Actor at the 1959 Mainichi Film Awards.
