Author Author of the book upon which the photograph appears Yourcenar, Marguerite Photograph Title Title of photograph Yukio Mishima 1963, from 'Ba-Ra-Kei' [Ordeal by Roses] Book Genre Biography Photo Genre Genre of Photograph Portraiture Photographer Photographer Hosoe, Eikoh Designer Designer of book cover Krupat, Cynthia Notes Notes associated with the item Eikoh Hosoe's photographs may be used for many book covers in his native Japan, but so far this is the only one I've come across in the U.S. Hosoe and the writer Yukio Mishima were friends and collaborators, at least where art was concerned. I can't swear to it, but I rather doubt that Hosoe shared Mishima's militarism, or the reactionary political beliefs which ultimately led to the writer's death by ritual suicide in 1970. This portrait of Mishima was one of many published posthumously in 'Ba-Ra-Kei' [variously titled 'Killed by Roses' and 'Ordeal by Roses' in English], a collaborative effort with a surreal, psychosexual visual narrative.
