Personality

My favourite Japanese writer ever. He is such an excellent psychologist. Sometimes feel like he is somehow similar to fictional characters in anime with tragic endings. Besides, any discussions about his enneagram? I see people vote him 6 because of his nationalism, but after reading his biographies and main works, I think that 5 makes more sense. Through his words he showed his secretive side that few people pay attention to: cerebral, detached, calm, aloof, thoughtful, visionary. He had many bizarre, eccentric, rather anti-mainstream ideas and imaginations. In the end of his posthumous work The Decay of the Angel, which was written shortly before his self-destructive death, he expressed strong Nihilism and Skepticism towards history and reality, which is a sign of unhealthy 5. Behind his fanaticism is a deep doubt about both Japan and himself. His tritype is probably 458 or 451(sx/so 1 has some traits of 8), 4w5-5w4-8w9 or 4w5-5w4-1w2.
Biography
Yukio Mishima (三島 由紀夫 Mishima Yukio) is the pen name of Kimitake Hiraoka (平岡 公威Hiraoka Kimitake, January 14, 1925 –November 25, 1970), a Japanese author, poet, playwright, actor, model, film director, nationalist, and founder of the Tatenokai. Mishima is considered one of the most important Japanese authors of the 20th century. He was considered for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1968, but the award went to his countryman Yasunari Kawabata. His works include the novels Confessions of a Mask and The Temple of the Golden Pavilion, and the autobiographical essay Sun and Steel. Mishima’s work is characterized by its luxurious vocabulary and decadent metaphors, its fusion of traditional Japanese and modern Western literary styles, and its obsessive assertions of the unity of beauty, eroticism and death.
