Yukio Mishima “Japan's Hemingway" Organizes His Own Samurai Army

■TOKYO.—It is a very strange “army,” if the word
can be used .at all. As novelist Yukio Mishima, the
founder, calls it, it’s the. “smallest army in the world,
with no arms at all—an army of young .men with
well-developed muscles.” Cynics call it an “army of
toy soldiers.” But Mishima, “Japan’s Ernest Heming­
way”, is in dead earnest.
Mishima is fond of the words “sword” and “chry­
santhemum.” The sword (katana) symbolizes “bushi­
do ’ oi' the samurai spirit, while the chrysanthemum
symbolizes Japanese culture in the true sense of the
term.
Mishima, one of Japan’s best known novelists in­
ternationally, said in an interview recentlv, that

“katana” means the “morals of death” observed
by the samurai, who frequently faced the danger of
death and for whom the most sublime form of takingresponsibility was to commit “harakiri.”
On the other hand, Mishima said, “kiku/ as the
complement of “bushido,” means the “'morals of life"
in which nature and death exist in harmony, without
confrontation. Life tends to become easv. and the
strong sense of responsibility shared by the samurai
may be lost if only this side of life—“'kiku”—is emphasized.
After the end of World War II, Mishima said
Americans tried to imbue the Japanese with a different set of morals—democracy, but the essence of

Japanese morals in the true sense of the word lies
in “bushido” complemented by “kiku.’ Japanese morals have deteriorated since the war’: end. he says,
because the Japanese have forgotten the value of “bu­
shido.”
In his opinion, there can be no “sound” Japanese
culture unless “katana” and “kiku” are harmonized
as they once were. The introduction of Western de­
mocracy, Mishima believes, has weakened the tradi­
tional moral fabric of Japanese sockty. The balance
between “katana” and “kiku” has been lost, or
being lost.
The kind of world envisaged by Mishima, then, is

Nisei: Quiet American
Stereotype or Reality
By NOBUSUKE FUKUDA
Stanford M. Lyman, Professor of Sociology at the University
of Nevada, spoke on the topic of ‘Nisei: The Quiet AmericanStereotype or Reality,” for the San Francisco Center for Japanese
American studies..
Stan Lyman’s lecture was absorbing and comprehensive. He’s
a good actor, an ability which I think enables lecturers to com­
municate better- their message to the audience. The little anecdotes
^e ^ves. °^ Nisei life are proof that the lecturer has first hand
information on what he is talking about.
p1'—His
TT:- expertise
------- ,
on the
topic is established by his grasp and depth of knowledge on
the Japanese.

Ontario's Expo '70 Pavilion

Osaka Visit For Premier Robarts
TORONTO. — Ontario’s pavi­
lion for Expo 70 in Osaka will
be officially handed over to Pro­
vincial Government representa­
tives headed by Premier John
Robarts next week.
The pavilion was completed in
W^
October, a month ahead of schedule. The Premier leaves today
for Japan.
He will hold meetings with
Japanese Government leaders,
including Prime Minister Sato
and his ministers of foreign af­
fairs and international trade and
industry, and with Japanese busi­
ness leaders.
The ceremony will take place

Jan. 15. Mr. Robarts will then
spend 12 days on a private tour
of Japan, Hong Kong and Ha­
waii.
TORONTO. — Popular Toronto Nisei lawyer, Mr. Thomas
Toshizo Onizuka was named as Queen’s Counsel in this year’s list
of honored lawyers issued by the Government.
He is the third Japanese Canadian lawyer to receive this
distinction. The other Nisei Q.C.’s are Mr. Kazuo G. Oiye and
Mr. Lucien C. Kurata.

The style of life of the Nisei is very discribable and this style
will soon disappear. The style of life must not be confused with
d the content for the two are not the same. The Nisei has fought
against oppression and discrimination but this has not been well
documented in the Hosokawa book, “The Quiet American.” The
s,
«n ^ °^ li^e -°T ^le Japanese in America can be described as the
rs.
Quiet American.” How the Nisei believed the moral and mature
person should behave was derived from the history and image
■of old Japan. The Issei passed on to their children what they
thought was how a proper and mature person behaved.
ra
M -Mastery control of self, the skill of self control, was the goal
si
of this character building. The moral argument was that if your
character is proper then you are a good person. A mature person
controls his impulses. This was especially true during time of
trouble; i.e. World Wai' II and the evacuation. The Tokugawa
