She looks beautiful even in broad daylight. And when you see her in the moonlight, she's an angel, an angel from heaven.

Yukio Mishima

[hiyutekivigil]

When a boy…discovers that he is more given into introspection and consciousness of self than other boys his age, he easily falls into the error of believing it is because he is more mature than they. This was certainly a mistake in my case. Rather, it was because the other boys had no such need of understanding themselves as I had: they could be their natural selves, whereas I was to play a part, a fact that would require considerable understanding and study. So it was not my maturity but my sense of uneasiness, my uncertainty that was forcing me to gain control over my consciousness. Because such consciousness was simply a steppingstone to aberration and my present thinking was nothing but uncertain and haphazard guesswork.

Yukio was born January 14, 1925, in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. He spent most of his earlier years with his grandmother who maintained a very aristocratic lifestyle and shared that with Yukio. She was also prone to violence and attempted to isolate Yukio from other boys his age. He was pushed, instead, to spend time with his female cousins and enjoy more traditionally feminine tasks with his grandmother. At the age of twelve, Yukio was returned to his immediate family.

She gave the unmistakable impression of girlish innocence unconscious of its own beauty. Her hair was tied with a white ribbon and she wore a pearl necklace, and her lips slightly parted like the petals of an exotic flower before the rains come.
