Features: This book is the last letter I wanted to leave for the dead realm where I once lived. To me, writing this book is like an inverted suicide. For the film, if the footage of the cliff jump suicide scene is played in reverse, it is certain that we can see the suicide jumper rising back to life with great speed from the bottom of the valley to the cliff. Through this book, what I tried to do was to exhibit this resurrection technique. The Mask of the Self-Confessor is not only an outstanding literary work, but also an important one because it contains some elements that clearly reflect the hidden side of Mishima. The Mask of the Self-Confessor connects the sexual desires linked to the joyful desires of youth and presents them with extreme correctness and calmness, transforming them into a work.
