On Death ／Mishima Yukio

Spiritual, I wanted to revive some samurai spirit through it. Because I don't want to revive harakiri itself, But through the vision of such a very strong vision of harakiri.

I wanted to inspire and stimulate younger people, And through such an stimulation, I wanted to revive some of old traditional sense of honor, or sense of very strong responsibility. And, such a sense of death in honor, that's my purpose.

Such a way of very extreme eroticism, such a bloody eroticism maybe does born in my mind from my birth. On the other hand, I don't want to show it as privave confessional something like that. I want to combine it, with the most public situation.

The harakiri is very positive, very proud way of death. I think it's very defferent from the western concept of suicide. Western consept of suicide is all defeted self mostly, But harakiri sometimes makes you win.
