* Yukio Mishima (三島 由紀夫、本名：平岡 公威 Kimitake Hiraoka, 1925-1970)
"You can easily find two contradictory characteristics in Japanese cultures or Japanese characters. One is elegance and one is brutality. The two characteristics are very tightly combined sometimes. Our brutality, I think, comes from our emotion. It is never mechanised and systematised like [the] Nazi's brutality. I think our brutality might come from our feminine aspect and elegance comes from our nervous side. Sometimes we are too sensitive about defilement or elegance or sense of beauty or aesthetic side. And sometimes we are tired of it and we need a sudden explosion to make us free from it...I don't like the Japanese culture just represented only by the flower arrangement or such a sort of peace/loving culture. I think we still have a very strong warrior's mind."
* 山本常朝（Yamamoto Tsunetomo 1659-1710）/ 葉隱 (Hagakure)
武士道といふは、死ぬ事と見附けたり。
二つ二つの場にて、早く死ぬ方に片附くばかりなり。
別に仔細なし。胸すわって進むなり。
The Way of the Samurai is found in death.
When it comes to either/or, there is only the quick choice of death.
It is not particularly difficult. Be determined and advance.
* Tatenokai (楯の会, Shield Society)
The Tatenokai was a private militia in Japan dedicated to traditional Japanese values and veneration of the Emperor. It was founded and led by the author Yukio Mishima.
Created in October 5, 1968, the Tatenokai was granted the right to train with the nation's armed forces, the Japan Self-Defense Forces. In November 25, 1970 five Tatenokai members briefly seized control of the Self-Defense Force's headquarters and attempted to rally the soldiers to stage a coup d'état and restore imperial rule.
When this failed, Mishima and Masakatsu Morita, the Tatenokai's main student leader, committed seppuku (ritual suicide).

外国人には金閣寺が英文化されこのような映像を観て 日本の文化 武士道 国歌論を観て 衝撃を受けただろう。 海外の同様の愛国心 それに通じる 騎士道には このような 切腹 自決 はないから。
