Yukio Mishima / Signed Autograph Letter / Suicide / Roman / Patriotism / 1970

  

Autograph letter signed "Yukio mishima" to dominique aury s. L, March 28, 1970, 2 p. In-4 oblong, in English traces of folds. Trouble letter of mishima written less than a year before his suicide by seppuku. He welcomes the welcome critical reception of his new patriotism in france and wishes to be particularly informed of the Malral dandré opinion.

He then evokes the beginning of the writing of the last volume of his novelist tetralogy that the sea of fertility develops on the explosive balance that he seeks to inspire his mind. He ends with an allusion to the equivocal tone of his fate.

Dominique aury, I am delighted to learn from your letter that your son, Mr. Philippe dargila, plans to visit Japan in the near future. Thank you for letting me know his itinerary as soon as possible so I can arrange everything he needs in advance. I can't wait to meet him. I am pleased to know that your wonderful translation of patriotism has been warmly received by your friends. In particular, I would like to know the reaction of Mr. André Malreaux (perhaps poorly spelled) on this subject, and at the same time, if possible, his reaction to film adaptation. As for your private projection, I am sure that the French must be too sophisticated and would pass away by looking at it. I will now begin the last (fourth) volume of my long novel. To write, I always need a balance between the critical moment of society and the essential malaise in my mind, but the present Japan does not seem to me to be conducive to being written in the current circumstances, since the social crisis is probably already resolved and becomes too silent. My novel can reach the highest tension when I feel my inner bomb and the outer bomb as a critical balance.

I do not intend to assassinate anyone, on the other hand, I have no possibility of being murdered, since no one considers me worthy of being murdered! Spend a beautiful and charming spring betting, as always yukio mishima".

Dear Madame dominique aury your letter left me a delightful news that your son m. Philippe dargila is coming to japan soon.

Please let me know about his itinerary as soon as possible so that i can arrange everthing. [sic] he would like beforehand. Particularly i would like to know about mister andré maleauxs (maybe wrong peeling) reaction to it, besides if it is possible, also about his reaction to its film version.

For writing, i always need some balance between the critical moment of the society and the essential unity in my mind, but the present japan seems to me not likely in a ideal circumstances to make me write, since the social crisis is likely yet resolved and coming too quiet. My new can reach the highest tension when i feel my inner bomb and the outside bomb as a critical balance.

I whose intention to assassinate anybody, on the other hand, i have no possibility to be assassinated, since nobody considers me worth to be assassinated! Have a nice, bright spring-time in paris, as always yukio mishima. Is a news of Yukio mishima released in 1961 in Japan. The story tells the suicide by seppuku (ventration with the help of a sword) of a Japanese lieutenant and his wife after the failure of the coup d'état fomented by a nationalist military group on February 26, 1936. An eponymous cinematic adaptation of the author's own work came out in 1965.

The film, which lon believes to be a critique of the bloody ritual of seppuku, is in fact only the premonitory staging of the suicide of the writer, on November 25, 1970, in the headquarters of the Japanese self-defense forces in tokyo. Is a Romanesque tetralogy of Yukio mishima, often presented as his "literary will".

The four novels of the cycle were written between 1965 and 1970.

All mishima is summarized, concentrated in this letter: its sensitivity, its tortured spirit, its ego, its way of writing its works and its contemporary look at Japanese society. Writing the same year as her suicide, she is only more important and valuable. The letters of Yukio mishima are of a rare insignia.
