a poem written by henry scott - strokes about the japanese landscape
To me, Mishima represented that "disappearing Japan" that he alluded to in the remark he made at the end of his life. I am not thinking of the samurai world but of something that was there during wartime and has gone. Japan today has great prosperity, the fruit of decades of hard work. Yet there is no sense of where the nation stands. ---Henry Scott-Stokes---
