Last but not least, you may refer to the infamous Yamamoto Kajirō's films at the end of WW2, like Raigekitai shutsudō, and other propaganda films. Watching these films is rather painful, but if you don't set proper chronological limitations to your research, these kamikaze films can't be left out...<br>

<div><font face="Arial"><font face="Times New Roman">If you can read french, you
should take a look to two publications : Maurice Pinguet, <i>La Mort
volontaire au Japon</i>, and Alain Walter, <i>L'Erotique du Japon
classique</i>. They're not free from what one may call some kind of
"japonism", but they will provide some interesting
hints.</font><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">I notice that there are translations of Maurice
Pinguet's <i>La Mort volontaire au Japon</i> into English, German and
Japanese. That's almost as universal as <i>Madame Butterfly</i>.
You've got me interested, Mattieu, into what Pinguet meant by
'au'.</font></div>
