Description: Item Title 1968 First EditionDescription``The Sun and Iron'' is an autobiographical essay and review by Yukio Mishima. Mishima himself describes it as ``a form intermediate between confession and criticism.'' It was written mainly about one's body and spirit, life and death, literature and martial arts, and is an important work in discussing Mishima's literature, thought, and his death (the Mishima Incident).[1] When published, the final chapter includes an essay and a long poem about the experience of flying at supersonic speeds through the stratosphere aboard the Self-Defense Force's F104 fighter jet. Thoughts are discussed through two encounters with the sun (defeat in the summer of 1945 and overseas travel experiences in 1955), and iron is the weight of a bodybuilding iron block (the weight of a body building body). It is said in relation to ``muscles'' as ``the function of pushing back to the original appearance''.
