About Yukio Mishima

Yukio Mishima was born in 1925 in Tokyo and is considered one of the Japan's most important writers. His books broke social boundaries and taboos at a time when Japan found itself in a state of rapid social change. His interests besides writing included body-building acting and practising as a Samurai. In 1970 he attempted to start a military coup which failed. Upon realizing this Mishima performed seppuku a ritual suicide upon himself. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature three times.
