Yukio Mashima

i have being reading about his life and works an would like to know more about him. i know i should probably go to /lit/ but i like you guys better. unfortunately it his hard to find anything simple about his main ideas online.
What were his core beliefs and how does it relate to my own physical training?

Pride in your race above all others

not in relation to race in relation to physical descipline

Get upset because even in the land of manlets you’re considered subhumanly short. Start working out and get big because everyone keeps calling you out when they see you dressed as a woman while you’re getting your ass destroyed by a 5’1 guy who towers over you.

In all seriousness, it’s all about extreme pride and honor.

A reverence of culture and country, trust between men and the lamination of the women

Jow Forumstard who never read mishima

Don’t listen to any of these other psueds, read sun and steel if you want to know his “core ideals”.

He was a closet homo with an honorable death fetish lol

is he /ourguy/?

Read his works. Sun and Steel is probably most appropriate for you.

Go watch Mishima:A life in four chapters.

Felt massive homolust for San Sebastian.

>be pathetic manlet with a hard on for old timey customs
>gather like minded younger manlets with a grudge against modern society
>try and stage a coup
>the soldiers you try to inspire literally laugh in your face and deride you
>ask your most trusted man to be kaishakunin duty as you decide to commit seppuku
>he's physically too weak to cut your head off, leaving you sprawled on the floor paralyzed and bleeding out from a neck and stomach wound
>another slightly less useless member of your group finally seals the deal, and also cuts off the head of the idiot who couldn't perform kaishakunin
>the rest of your friends are arrested and become a national laughing stock

fuck what a way to go

Pride in tradition and its importance in modern day
The concept of ideas shaping the body.
Importance of taking action.

You forgot the parts where he was afraid of jock kendo students and where he was gay.

forced to play with dolls as a little boy
father bullied him because he thought he was a sissy
boys at school bullied him because he liked to write poetry
spent 15 years of his life becoming a bodybuilder and martial artist
secretly had gay affairs while publicly getting married and having kids
couldnt handle the contradictions in his personal life and decided to kill himself in a public and traditional way
it proved an empty and pathetic gesture, his second couldn't decapitate him cleanly, the whole thing was a black eye on japan
today is considered an important literary figure who focused on the post war japan period

JUST

Also forgot the part where most of his "important literary contributions" were just self insert suicide fetish trash.

I will never understand how anyone into self realization and discipline can unironically recommend this failure.

Got a torrent?

The sea of fertility tetralogy is a masterpiece, I recommand the read to everybody.

Confession of a mask too obviously.

I can't seem to find it tranlated in english but in french there is a novel called "La Musique" ('the music") that's my favourite piece by him. He shows he can be quite funny and tongue in cheek in this one, with plenty of self depreciating humour

Mishima felt that Japan's inability to support a military created a lack of meaning for a substantial amount of people in the society. It's why he asked the soldiers before his suicide, "Why do you support the constitution that corrupts your lives?".

I could be wrong about this, it has been a while since I read of it, but that was the general idea I got out of it. He also wrote a very popular ""autobiography"" that has led to endless misinterpretations of Mishima.
