The Life and Death of Yukio Mishima (50 page)

* Published in English translation.

Mishima's Plan for Death

Mishima's Bunburyōdo, or dual way of Art and Action, required that he progress along the road to death while committing himself simultaneously to literature and to soldierly action, as one may see from a summary of the activities of the last five years of his life.
