ANALYSIS OF MISHIMA SUICIDE
Shortly, after midday, Nov. 25, .1970, Yukio Mishima stepped
down from the parapet of the balcony of the eastern army head
quarters, Tokyo, and retiredto the office behind. While ambulan
ces had carried away a general, five colonels and a seargeant he
had wounded with his razor-sharp 17th century sword, he had ha
rangued the garrison assembled below.
The- garrison had jeer ed. Disappointed but resolute, Mishima
began the final scene of his <performance.
Beneath the gaze of the commander of the garrison, trussed
to a chair, and backed by four uniformed-ip embers of his private
army, the Shield So'ciety (Tatenokai), Mishima began to strip off
his clothes.
"
'
One of the Shield Society members present was Masakatsu
Morita. Another was Hitoyasu Koga.
Stripped almost naked, Mishima knelt, dagger in hand; Morita raised the 17th century sword. Mishima' plunged the dagger into
his belly and drew it sideways. As Morita. swung to behead him,
man’s
Mishima toppled forward; the sword slashed the fallen
shoulders and back.
!
As Mishima weltered in his blood, his entrails spilling- on the
floor, Morita .slashed twice more.' The third blow almost severed
the neck from which blood spouted as the head cocked at an angle
from the body. Taking- the sword, Koga completed the beheading.
After prayers for Mishima, Morita tried to disembowel him,
„, ’
self but bungled1. Koga beheaded him.
— The harangue and suicide had been filmed by newsmen and
police. The grisly, dramatic end of the man once considered likely
to win the Nobel prize for 'literature caught the attention of the
world. What had caused Mishima to do the deed?
According to a manifesto Mishima and his followers had dis
tributed from the, balcony, and according to his harangue, Mishi
ma: had been dramatizing his objection to the Constitution of Ja
pan, which outlaws war and a standing army. According to the
author -of his biography, a London Times bureau chief in Tokyo
at the time who arrived at the scene minutes after the suicide,
the publicly stated emotive is minor or even irrelevant. The real
motives are found in the life and writings of Mishima.

SUITS FOR MEN
Mishima won fame; in 1949, at age 24, with his candid auto
biographical novel' Confessions of a Mask (Kamen no Kokuhaku),
“the best ‘ of Mishima’s- many works’’ and the biographer relies on
it heavily.
.
’
Mishima delineates his' awakening sexuality; bisexual, he pre
ferred men. -“The book ’ describes the genesis of aromanticidea
which impinges . directly, ‘.on his eventual ; decision to commit sui
cide: the notion That violent death is ultimate beauty, provided
that he who dies is 'young.” '
’
.
a
' By 1970 he may 'have felt his work as writer was done. He
had made a fetish of body-building; he must. have feared his body,
must succumb to deterioration.
.
‘
‘
' . He was besotted jwith dreams of suicide? Narcissist, masochist
and exhibitionist, he went -to the .Self-Defense: headquarters that,
fateful day only incidentailly' to -protest, the .Constitution!; he went
primarily because his:instinct bade him die and his flair for show
manship directed method arid place.
.WeB-researched and well-written, the biography gives new
and valuable insights into the life’ and work of his. tormented au
thor. Glossary, chronology, -index and =a bibliography; of Mishima/s
works make the volume handy for reference.

SUITS FOR MEN
Mishima won fame; in 1949, at age 24, with his candid auto
biographical novel' Confessions of a Mask (Kamen no Kokuhaku),
“the best ‘ of Mishima’s- many works’’ and the biographer relies on
it heavily.
.
’
Mishima delineates his' awakening sexuality; bisexual, he pre
ferred men. -“The book ’ describes the genesis of aromanticidea
which impinges . directly, ‘.on his eventual ; decision to commit sui
cide: the notion That violent death is ultimate beauty, provided
that he who dies is 'young.” '
’
.
a
' By 1970 he may 'have felt his work as writer was done. He
had made a fetish of body-building; he must. have feared his body,
must succumb to deterioration.
.
‘
‘
' . He was besotted jwith dreams of suicide? Narcissist, masochist
and exhibitionist, he went -to the .Self-Defense: headquarters that,
fateful day only incidentailly' to -protest, the .Constitution!; he went
primarily because his:instinct bade him die and his flair for show
manship directed method arid place.
.WeB-researched and well-written, the biography gives new
and valuable insights into the life’ and work of his. tormented au
thor. Glossary, chronology, -index and =a bibliography; of Mishima/s
works make the volume handy for reference.
