Influential Japanese writer (1925–1970) who committed hara-kiri to protest the Westernization and military weakness of postwar Japan. His reactionary views, private “army,” and homosexuality made him one of the most controversial public figures in Japan and one of the most enigmatic geniuses of modern literature. Eye-catching Christmas card, 4.25 x 5.75 closed, bearing a pre-printed Christmas wish inside, signed on the inside in black ink, “To John, Yukio Mishima.” In fine condition, with a couple mild creases.
