Yukio Mishima
Yukio Mishima (literary name) was born as Kimitake Hiroaka in Tokyo in 1925 and committed suicide in 1970 in protest against the end of traditional Japan. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize, but it was after his death that he achieved international fame. Mishima lived, like so many Japanese of his generation, the clash of two cultural models: the Western and the ancient and own of Japan. A prolific and diverse writer, Confessions of a Mask, his first notable success, made him famous at just twenty-four years old.
