When I was young, There was an incident that left a deep impression on me at that time. It was the incident in which Yukio Mishima committed seppuku in Ichigaya. Both teachers and students were in class at the time, but we watching that TV news the whole time.
At the time, all the adults around me, including my teachers, parents, and neighborhood uncles, praised Mr. Mishima, saying, “Mr. Mishima is admirable!”
He can write colorful pieces with little material, especially “patriotism,” based on the events of 2.26, which is an artistic representation of an idealized death that I admire.
