"I want a mulligan!"Mishima was a nutcase (and his writing is boring as all get out), but I think you’re wrong about who unsuccessfully tried to decapitate him. Masakatsu Morita failed in his attempt and committed seppuku himself, by earlier agreement another member of the Tatenokai, Hiroyasu Koga, finished the job on them both.
"I want a mulligan!"No, it’s true! They had cheerleaders too.
‘Seppukuties’: geisha girls who did fan dances and urged the participants to kill themselves cleanly and honorably.
Golf lost a living legend this morning. I surprised it hasn’t been in the news: Jack Nicholson, RIP.
Mishima a nutcase? Without a doubt.
That said I do enjoy his writing.
“The Sound of Waves”,a good read!
