"A samurai is a total human being, whereas a man who is completely absorbed in his technical skill has degenerated into a 'function,' one cog in a machine."

Dmitry Moiseev — MISHIMA'S FLAME: Samurai Ethics in Art and Action
Bushidō, the ethical tradition of the samurai, long ago transcended Japan’s feudal past to become a powerful element of cultural identity and an enduring presence in the global imagination. For Yukio Mishima (1925–1970), one of Japan’s most celebrated and controversial novelists and playwrights, a Nobel Prize nominee, actor, and public intellectual, bushidō was a living ideal. He sought to unite art, discipline, and action into a single way of life.
