Mishima visited a Tokyo department store two weeks before he committed suicide, where a Yukio Mishima exhibit was held. (Mainichi)
From this write up in the Mainichi Daily News about several Japanese books on Mishima, published in response to the 40th anniversary of his death, we get a new quote for this site:
“Japan will disappear, and in its stead, an impersonal, empty, neutral, intermediate, opulent, shrewd, economic giant will be left standing in a corner of the Far East.”
- “Hatashieteinai Yakusoku” (Undelivered Promises)
