In commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Yukio Mishima, one of the leading figures in modern literature, The Death of a Man presents a sublime--and often shocking--visual record of the last few months prior to his sensational ritual suicide in November 1970.

The author of masterworks such as The Temple of the Golden Pavilion and Forbidden Colors, Mishima, a celebrated figure in postwar world literature, remains a controversial figure in Japan. His reactionary politics and the spectacular nature of his death had so profoundly impacted Japanese society that images associated with the event were never publicly shown.
In the months prior to the November incident, he enlisted Kishin Shinoyama to create a photographic, radical work of fiction, a photo essay on the death of the Japanese "everyman." In images often suffused with militarism and eroticism, a parade of men, including a sailor, a construction worker, a fisherman, and a soldier, are shown meeting grisly, dramatic ends.
Published for the very first time, these stylized images of men dying alone serve as prologues to the real-world culmination of Mishima's pursuit of total art. Locked in a performance with one inescapable end, Mishima offered his own body as its final act.

With texts by Mishima and his closest intimates and first-person reminiscences of his final moments, this book promises to be an unprecedented interrogation on the nature of performance and the role of artist as actor, provocateur, and revolutionary.

Washable quality paper plates
Style: 10 Inch, Size: 150 Count (Pack of 1)
We've used these paper plates for years for all kinds of things and find them to be really sturdy and washable. With a pleasant design that fits any decor, they are wonderful for everyday use. I really like the fact that the top surface can be lightly washed and the plates reused. They come in a package of 150 and are really good value for the money.

An elegant workhorse!
Style: 10 Inch, Size: 150 Count (Pack of 1)
I hate washing dishes so I use these Dixie plates a lot and they are STURDY. They will carry a whole meal without wilting. The rim is deep enough that, should you be so inclined, you could eat ice cream out of them without any dripping or drooping worries. So something like spaghetti or lasagna would be easily handled. I now buy them 150 at a time because they're so handy and that way more economical. I use them instead of a cutting board sometimes. And they just feel the right weight, not too heavy, not too light. For a picnic or a walking-around party they would be the best for preventing spills. But what I enjoy is their versatility. You can even rinse them off and use them again if they've had light use. And the current pattern is cheerful too!!

Sturdy, Convenient Paper Plates That Hold Up Well
Style: Modern, Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
These Dixie medium paper plates are perfect for everyday use. They’re strong enough to handle full meals without bending or leaking, even with heavier or saucy foods. The 8.5-inch size is just right not too big, not too small great for lunch, snacks, or light dinners. I also like that they hold up well in the microwave, which makes reheating easy and mess-free. Super convenient for busy days, gatherings, or when you just don’t feel like doing dishes. Reliable quality and very practical to keep on hand.
