Description

Japan’s most celebrated author

Influential Japanese writer 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. Christmas card, 9.25 x 4.75, featuring a colorful ocean scene on the front, with a pre-printed sentiment inside. Signed at the bottom in black ink, “As always, Yoko & Yukio Mishima.” In fine condition, with some mild toning to right edges and some light creasing along right edge. LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
