Chapter Three: What did Yukio Mishima want through his death?
By Henry S. Stokes, former Tokyo Bureau Chief of The New York Times
August 8, 2014
We now present Chapter Three.
Mr. Stokes became Tokyo Bureau chief of The Times of London in 1968. He represented the world’s most prestigious daily newspaper in Japan. He thought of interviewing the then-most famous man in Japan, Yukio Mishima and phoned him at his residence in Magome.
Thereafter, he became quite familiar with Mishima to the extent that he later wrote “The Life and Death of Yukio Mishima” (Farrar, Straus and Giroux Inc., New York) in1974 after Mishima committed suicide at Japanese Self Defense Force HQ at Ichigaya on November 25, 1970.
