Yukio Mishima

edit

You keep labeling Mishima as an "ultra-nationalist" in your own research, but there is no such exaggerated label in the sources of Mishima research. You may know very little about Mishima, but he had many foreign friends and respected and understood the cultural traditions of Europe and China. Of course, he was Japanese, and like many ordinary Japanese, he respected the imperial culture, but that doesn't mean it's appropriate to label him as an "ultra-nationalist," and at least in Japan, only far-left extremists say such things, so it's a biased label even from a neutral perspective. It's the same as not calling ordinary British people who respect and support the British royal family or people who have Catholic faith "ultra-nationalists."

The perception of "restoring direct imperial rule" is also misguided. Even in prewar Japanese history, the Emperor never ruled directly, so the fact that you wrote "restore" is your own original research.

The official titles of English translations such as "葉隠入門" (On Hagakure: The Samurai Ethic and Modern Japan) are the names I edited. This is also listed in Japanese sources, and is easily understood by looking at published translations.

As for links, there is no point in making red links for people or magazines that are not likely to be or do not need to be listed in the English version and are only notable in Japan, so I think the appropriate method of linking is to make it easy to go to the Japanese version as before. However, it may be better to make this more understandable for English-speaking people, so I will try to improve it.

His ultra-nationalism and extreme politics are referenced in many sources. As far as I can see you are the only one engaging in original research.
Based on your user page you likely have a conflict of interest too. CyberIdris (talk) 02:33, 7 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
What do you mean by "many sources"? Information on the Internet and elsewhere is often questionable from a neutral perspective, and compared to proper academic specialist literature and sources such as Mishima research books, some of the labels are exaggerated and unreliable. Of course, some people may see him as an "ultra-nationalist" depending on how you look at it, but Wikipedia values ​​a neutral perspective, so it is appropriate to call him a "nationalist," and in that case, it is not a definition that deviates from the content of specialist literature. みしまるもも (talk) 07:13, 7 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
