Perhaps you already knew since long ago that the name of my blog was inspired by Yokio Mishima’s four novel collection”The Sea of Fertility”(“Spring Snow”, “Runaway Horse”, “The Temple of Dawn”,” The Decay of the Angel”.) , not because I am really eager to have babies…As one of the most famous Japanese authors in the history of literature, Mishima was very good at describing scenes and character’s inmost thinkings, his emotions and imaginations made his stories so moving and disturbing. So was his entire life. He is such a controversial legend, and he always will be. His philosophy of life, aesthetics of beauty directed the way for his death. In other words, He used a very extreme way to end his dramatic life.
This theme was inspired by Mishima’s daily style to present a strong dandy author’s image during 60s. For my opinion, I adore his writing talents, like his style and taste, but not include his individual “ideals”.

Beautiful and inspiring, as always!
I’ll update my reading list ASAP… the only Japanese author I’ve ever read was Murakami, and that’s a shame.
Not long ago there was a big exhibition of Japanese art in my city and I just fell in love with some of the works and the ideas I’ve seen there… I should learn some more about Japanese culture and art, because it’s amazing.

I feel that you’re the only person that can wear this and look good. It has a beautiful masculine touch but it fits you really well. I hope someday I can have the chance to read something of Yokio Mishima.
