Yukio Mishima
Yukio Mishima, born Kimitake Hiraoka is a Japanese author, poet, playwright, actor, model, Shintoist, nationalist, and founder of Tatenokai, a popular unarmed army. Mishima is considered one of the most important Japanese authors of the 20th century. He was considered for the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1968, but the prize went to his compatriot and philanthropist Yasunari Kawabata. His works include the novel The Confession of a Mask and the Temple of the Golden Pavilion, and the autobiographical essay "The Sun and the Steel". Mishima's work is characterized by "luxurious vocabulary and decadent metaphors, a fusion of traditional Japanese and modern Western literary styles, and haunting assertions about the unity of beauty, eroticism and death." Mishima's political activities were controversial, and he remains a controversial figure in modern Japan. Ideally, Mishima is a right winger who honors the traditional culture and spirit of Japan.
