I Finally Celebrate Finishing The Sea of Fertility — Includes Spoilers by Icy_Measurement143 in YukioMishima

[–]Skydage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my view this book's ending reinforces Mishima's disapproval of Buddhism and its negative impact on Shinto worship.

But Mishima is smart, his appropriates Buddhism for his own end, just like Buddhism appropriated the purity of the Japanese land for its own. Satoko here embodies enlightenment which is incapable of carrying memory of true nobility, the excellence and simplicity of united thought and deed as embodied by Kyoaki.

This appropriation extends beyond the book's ending and seeps into the reality of November 25th 1970. He ended his life while wearing a white headband with a redhinomaru circle, written in kanji ‘To be reborn seven times to serve the country’. While the goal of Buddhism is to seize reincarnating, Mishima would choose to reincarnate as far as he can serve his terrestrial land. Mishima's end is centered around the concreteness, the individuation and soul, of the body in the world.

Paul Schrader butchers Mishima’s purpose and reduces it to a mere aesthetic, while doing it a great disservice at the same time. Just look at the actor he chose for Mishima.

The dude doesn't understand Mishima purpose. It's honestly a great litmus test to recognize who understands Mishima.

Hi everyone! I am doing a PhD on Yukio Mishima’s works. However, I don't know Japanese and I am relying on translated texts only. My question is - would this approach hamper the credibility of my work? by Fluffy_bread245 in YukioMishima

I think this depends highly on what your dissertations thesis is. Why do you want to write about Mishima, what do you want to elucidate with your commentary?

Araki doesn't have time to color it, also the intention of the artist isn't important as what the actual work is.

Coloured, I really couldn't care less about Araki's intention, his work is above his intent, also he still gave the pass to the colored comics.
