Mishima, Yukio (1925–1970)
Japanese novelist. His work often deals with sexual desire and perversion, as in Confessions of a Mask (1949) and The Temple of the Golden Pavilion (1956). He committed hara-kiri (ritual suicide) as a protest against what he saw as the corruption of the nation and the loss of the samurai warrior tradition.
