Episode notes

Aso mishima comes from the train station that his teacher used on his way to an editorial board meeting. Yukeo is a reference to, i guess the word ukii means snowand as a reference to the snow that they saw on mount fuji when they passed by it on the train. He wrote admiringly about special attack units like konasi pilots,. And after the japanese surrendered in 19 forty five, he vowed to protect japanese cultural traditions.

Tell me about a Complicated Man. Mishima's breakthrough coming-of-age novel about sexuality in late Imperial Japan has a powerful narrative voice and prose style. But the legacy of his work and his political goals has led to him being a bit of an "enigma" (as one listener referred to him) -- to put it lightly.

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
