"The importance of this book lies in its refusal to confine Mishima within the boundaries of Japanese literature. It places him within a broader intellectual context, encompassing bushidō, Traditionalism, existential philosophy, and a philosophy of action. Taking Mishima’s Hagakure Nyūmon as a central point of reference, the author draws out the themes of love, action, life, and death, and demonstrates how consistently they run through Mishima’s novels, essays, physical training, the Tatenokai, and his final act."

—- Kazuhiro Hayashida, from the foreword to Dmitry Moiseev's MISHIMA'S FLAME: Samurai Ethics in Art and Action
