The prose is certainly flowery which can make it hard to penetrate at times but I assume the translation is staying faithful to the original Japanese. Mishima's fascination with the last writings of a Japanese "suicide squad" was particularly interesting considering his own ritual suicide. Overall I enjoyed this short read but did not find it quite as impactful as I had expected.
