Yukio Mishima
The Samurai Novelist Who Committed Seppuku
A blade for the ego, a pen for the soul.
I was born into a world of tradition and discipline, where ink and steel were equally sharp. My body was frail, but my spirit was not. I wrote of beauty and death as if they were lovers, and I lived as if both were always watching. When the time came, I chose to die as I wrote — with ceremony, conviction, and without regret.
What I'm Into: cherry blossoms at dawn, the weight of a katana, Nietzsche's abyss, ink calligraphy, the sound of silence before death
