He just wanted people to care about the past.
>the scenes of love and death, and the consummate fusion of erotism and the righteous cause and their mutually reinforcing effect as depicted here can be said of to be the first and foremost felicity to which I have aspired my whole life.
>He just wanted people to care about the past.
This. It's that simple.
Suck white wiener
He didn’t want *you* to do anything, since I’m guessing you aren’t Japanese.
This.
If you're not Japanese he wants you to screw off.
larp as gay samurais
I feel like this is the correct answer when you really dig down to the bottom of it.
Emphasis on 'gay'.
Prease undastandu.
be gay with the emperor, anon. it's the only way
leave japan alone, but really in terms of individual character, to live a life of passion, and to work out. No excuses really, we should be doing exactly what he says
>what did he want us to do?
Remember him, in the way the beauty of the (destroyed) golden temple was remembered.
he just wanted to bee himself.
He wanted people to be spiritual warriors above money and materialism.
The guy had it all, was gay with a wife for kids, author of aclaimed books, actor, artist.
He realized success is absolutely worthless if your country is shit and you dont have a nation of like minded heroic individuals.
hit that prostate
CULTIVATE. YOUR. ORCHARD.
I don't think he even knew. The fascists who worship him are quite wilfully blind to the nuances in his own literature. He was a man out of time. But he knew they could never go back. I think that ultimately he valued dignity and that's why he staged that coup. But he still write books about little boys cumming themselves. He was thoroughly modern and I think unabashedly so. His suicide was a cry into the void, rather than a coherent political statement.
it's stuff like this that makes him sound really interesting and someone I want to understand but I got filtered by temple. how do i begin to "get" his books?
Confessions of a Mask and The Sailor Who Fell etc. are both short and good entry points. My personal favourite is Forbidden Colours - which funnily enough was his most highly regarded book in Japan during his life but barely discussed on IQfy. The Tetralogy is a masterpiece but a bit boring if you're not already into him. He has a lot of shorter books like After the Banquet and The Frolic of the Beasts which are good but not wholly indicative of his style as they're a bit more pulpy. Anyway, this is a long way of saying just read Confessions or The Sailor and if you don't like them you probably won't like the rest.
Develop an understanding of Japan during the 20th century and then read Sea of Fertility
>Develop an understanding of Japan during the 20th century
how do i do that? obviously the bombs but what else?
Meiji Restoration is by far the most important thing to know about. All Japanese literature before the bomb is a reflection on Mieji.
to die with purpose and honor I guess.
Live a meaningful existence beyond consumerism . also to remember death
you gonna die ugly, hoe
