Mishima actually belongs to that breed of writers, rare and precious, which let themselves be carried by their own lives to write and travel through the minds and words weighed to the dreaded accuracy that even the musical is a delight ...

I think he has many remembered for his death in the rules of a highly codified art that was believed extinct, as the last samurai and by the deliberate display of homosexuality in works forgetting the taboo to carry the ultimate emotion and intellectualization of desire!
What appeals to me most about Mishima is obviously its anachronistic existence and especially his passion for defending a voice deeply pessimistic and exalt with desperate ardor of "Utopia" samurai ethics! For Mishima is above all a patriot scrutineer men, minds and changing attitudes of his country he believes decadent since he sacrificed his ideals!

In a fluid, yet sharp beautiful style sometimes a clean language as is the Japanese language very, Yukio Mishima develops a scathing critique but also very earthy peaceful and prosperous Japan twentieth s, while keeping in mind the influences his master mind Jocho Yamamoto, the author of Hagakure Japanese book 'cursed'!
The most admirable and perhaps terrifying is this philosophy of life, deployment kind of intimate energy of the individual and, even more besides, a philosophy of death through the Way of the Samurai.
