Está muy bien escrito pero me rechina demasiado esa glorificación del suicidio. Me quedo con la perspectiva de Harakiri de Masaki Kobayashi

A brutal view into the way of the samurai.
Shocking.
Shocking.

Exceptionally heartbreaking. I want a full adaptation of this, I want all the back story to this tragic conclusion.

Mishima's writing is so sharp. In so few words he paints a beautiful picture of a kind of cultural dedication which is so distant from what I know in my own life. There is a wholesome optimism to this book's double suicide. Its a blatant statement of moral codes which the characters navigate perfectly. The characters almost have an excitement about them as they order their wills for their sparse belongings, make their prayers to the Emperor and prepare the weapons of their suicide.
