Mishima's Sword: Travels in Search of a Samurai Legend
Christopher Ross
On November 25, 1970, the world renowned Japanese writer Yukio Mishima committed seppuku with his own antique sword. Mishima?s spectacular suicide has been called many things: a hankering for heroism; a beautiful, perverse drama; a political protest against Japan?s emasculated postwar constitution; the epitaph of a mad genius. Part travelogue, part biography, and part philosophical treatise, Mishima?s Sword is the story of Christopher Ross?s journey to find a sword and maybe an understanding of Mishima?s country. The cold trail the author follows inspires a tale of the most engaging-and occasionally bizarre-sort, with glimpses of the real Japan that is not seen by tourists, with digressions on, among other things, bushido and socks, mutineers and Noh ghosts, nosebleeds and metallurgy-and even how to dress for suicide.
