\u003cbr\u003eIn the second book of the \"City Walk\" series, \"Mishima's Tokyo,\" a novelist's walk through the city, young novelist Yang Seon-hyeong introduces the other side of Tokyo that she witnessed while following the faint traces left behind by Yukio Mishima.\u003cbr\u003e Yang Seon-hyeong, a reader before becoming a novelist, embarks on a six-part walking tour, carrying with her the questions she has held since becoming fascinated by Mishima's novels as a child.\u003cbr\u003e We will find answers to these questions by examining the life and literary history of Yukio Mishima, who was born and raised in Tokyo 100 years ago.\u003cbr\u003e The 50 photographs taken by novelist Min Byeong-hun, who accompanied us, perfectly capture the essence of summer in Tokyo.\u003cbr\u003e

works 『Confession of a Mask』 and 『The Temple of the Golden Pavilion』 and are contemplating beauty, works such as 『Patriotism』 and the 『Sea of ​​Abundance』 series leave questions and

six walking trails follow the life of a novelist and man named Yukio Mishima.\u003cbr\u003e The trajectory he created while writing countless works from boyhood to youth, middle age, and death is a solid knot that makes it impossible to separate himself from literature.\u003cbr\u003e Author Yang Seon-hyeong reads the representative novels he left behind at each important juncture in his life, as well as novels not yet translated into Korean, while walking, searching for clues to the complex knot. \u003cbr\u003eAt the end of this difficult walk, readers will finally be able to find their own

secret path to Mishima\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For Yukio Mishima, the writer who was born in Tokyo 100 years ago and passed away 55 years ago, Tokyo was the backdrop of his life and, soon, the backdrop of his literature.\u003cbr\u003e Places like the bustling Shibuya Scramble Crossing, the Ginza district filled with flashy buildings, Ueno Park brimming with things to see, and the Jimbocho Book Street where you can explore traces of the past are places that any tourist visiting Tokyo has likely visited or heard of at least once.\u003cbr\u003e These places also appear in the Tokyo walk with Mishima.\u003cbr\u003e From well-known landmarks to ordinary mansions hidden deep in alleys, to schools frequented by middle school students in uniforms, this book introduces the hidden side of Tokyo we know: \"Mishima's Tokyo.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The six-part walking trail is a chronicle of Yukio Mishima's life. \u003cbr\u003eOn a walk along the path of his life, both the author and the reader wander through the maze of life and literature he created.\u003cbr\u003e Each walk depicts a boy who snooped around his classmates who were running around with their faces hidden behind books, a law student who fiercely built his own literary theory while writing a will, a young man who passed through Hibiya Park at night and headed to a gay bar, and a healthy bodybuilder who sought his own beauty under the sun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The words that run through the long walk are beauty and death.\u003cbr\u003e We take a walk, tracing the anguish of those who yearn for absolute beauty but cannot reach it, and the shadow of death left on countless works by those who had a premonition of death early on.\u003cbr\u003e For the author, this is a matter of building a ‘precarious bridge between birth and death.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e My trip to Tokyo and \"Reading Mishima\" were a process of honestly looking into the various aspects of this unsettling truth. \u003cbr\u003eAt the same time, I wanted to understand, from a contemporary perspective, why this writer, with all his complexities and risks, remains at the center of intense literary fascination.\u003cbr\u003e - From the text\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom Reader to Novelist: Mishima as Witnessed by Yang Seon-hyeong\u003cbr\u003e A record of unavoidable shaking\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But at the time, I received a great deal of comfort from the speaker, who was caught up in the passion of a reckless confession, unlike when I heard sweet and affectionate words.\u003cbr\u003e A persistent and lonely comfort felt in the presence of a human being who desperately struggles to find words to describe himself.\u003cbr\u003e I, too, began writing in that comfort, and it remains a value that only literature can provide.\u003cbr\u003e - From the text\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Author Yang Seon-hyeong, who was an avid reader before writing novels, begins her walk by explaining 『Yukio Mishima』 with a mixture of fascination and embarrassment. \u003cbr\u003eThe admiration and comfort I felt while reading Mishima's novel at a time when I was around the same age as the narrator in \"Confessions of a Mask\" was a powerful experience for the author.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book is a passionate record of one person's life as experienced by the reader and author from the perspective of a novelist.\u003cbr\u003e The author does not avoid the reasons for the uncomfortable yet beautiful sensation felt in Mishima's novels, but closely examines them.\u003cbr\u003e We examine what kind of \"mask\" Mishima created in \"Confessions of a Mask,\" why the protagonist in \"The Temple of the Golden Pavilion\" had to burn the \"Golden Pavilion,\" and why the relationship between \"the one who sees\" and \"the one who is seen\" in \"Gold\" was so important to Mishima.\u003cbr\u003e He also does not avoid uncomfortable questions, such as how the aesthetics of death that permeated his entire life emerged and what the reasons were for his final choice of ‘seppuku’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOn that walk, the author observes Mishima's speakers, alienated from beauty that can never be achieved, and reads the incomprehensible path of Mishima, who loved \"death\" and left behind records of premonitions throughout his life.\u003cbr\u003e The conversation with Mishima, who praised the spirit of fighting and confrontation, was close to a melee.\u003cbr\u003e As a meeting between novelists, this book is a dialogue and experiment that identifies Mishima's dangerous contradictions hidden beneath his unpleasant emotions and approaches them through the medium of a novel.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe series \"Confessions of a Mask,\" \"The Temple of the Golden Pavilion,\" and \"The Sea of ​​Abundance\"\u003cbr\u003e Yasunari Kawabata, Osamu Dazai, Kenzaburo Oe, etc.\u003cbr\u003e Meet twelve works and Mishima's literary comrades.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At the beginning of each walking trail, twelve books to accompany your walk and seven authors to walk with serve as faithful literary walking guides. \u003cbr\u003eFrom Mishima's debut work, \"The Forest in Bloom,\" written when he was sixteen, to the \"Sea of ​​Abundance\" series, which he completed on the last day of his life, the author has separately introduced works that are important to each aspect of his life, allowing readers to review them in advance before taking a walk.\u003cbr\u003e In addition to representative works translated into Korean, such as 『Confessions of a Mask』, 『The Temple of the Golden Pavilion』, 『Gold』, and 『Spring Snow』, which are covered in depth in the book, untranslated novels such as 『The Sound of Waves』 and prose collections such as 『Cultural Defense Theory』 and 『Novel Reader』 are also introduced, allowing a comprehensive examination of the entire world of Mishima's literature.\u003cbr\u003e It also introduces writers who influenced and were influenced by Mishima.\u003cbr\u003e I imagine what the boy Mishima must have read and admired from Oscar Wilde.\u003cbr\u003e It points out how he is similar to and different from Georges Bataille, whose writings on beauty and death resonated greatly with him. \u003cbr\u003eMishima's position in Japanese literary circles can be understood through the descriptions of Yasunari Kawabata, who led Mishima into the literary world, Osamu Dazai, with whom he was mentally opposed and conscious, and Kenzaburo Oe, with whom he worked in the literary world in his later years but whose views were polar opposites.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The 50 photos included were taken by novelist Min Byeong-hun, who accompanied us on our walk around Tokyo.\u003cbr\u003e It vividly and metaphorically shows the unfamiliar scenery of Tokyo that the reader has never seen before.
