Yukio Mishima Yukio Mishima (三島 由紀夫 , Mishima Yukio ) is the pen name of Kimitake Hiraoka (平岡 公威 , Hiraoka Kimitake , January 14, 1925November 25, 1970) , a Japanese author, poet, playwright, actor, and film director. Mishima is considered one of the most important Japanese authors of the 20th century. He was considered for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1968 but the award went to his countryman Yasunari Kawabata. His works include the novels "Confessions of a Mask" and "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion", and the autobiographical essay "Sun and Steel". His avant-garde work displayed a blending of modern and traditional aesthetics that broke cultural boundaries, with a focus on sexuality, death, and political change. Mishima was active as a nationalist and founded his own right-wing militia, the Tatenokai. In 1970, he and three other members of his militia staged an attempted "coup d'état" when they seized control of a Japanese military base and took the commander hostage, then tried and failed to inspire a coup to restore the Emperor's pre-war powers. Mishima then committed ritual suicide by "seppuku". The coup attempt became known as the "Mishima Incident".

List of Japanese exonyms Japanese exonyms are the names of places in the Japanese language that differ from the name given in the dominant language of the aforementioned region. While Japanese names of places that are not derived from the Chinese language generally tend to represent the endonym or the English exonym as phonetically accurate as possible, the Japanese terms for some place names are obscured, either because the name was borrowed from another language or because of some other obscure etymology, such as referring to England (more specifically the United Kingdom) as イギリス ("Igirisu"), which is based on the Portuguese term for "English", "Inglês". While there is a term for England that is more phonetically accurate to the endonym, イングランド ("Ingurando"), the term only applies to the Country of England as opposed to the United Kingdom as a whole.

Jun'ichirō Tanizaki Jun'ichirō Tanizaki (谷崎 潤一郎 , Tanizaki Jun'ichirō , 24 July 1886 – 30 July 1965) was one of the major writers of modern Japanese literature, and perhaps the most popular Japanese novelist after Natsume Sōseki. Some of his works present a shocking world of sexuality and destructive erotic obsessions. Others, less sensational, subtly portray the dynamics of family life in the context of the rapid changes in 20th-century Japanese society. Frequently his stories are narrated in the context of a search for cultural identity in which constructions of "the West" and "Japanese tradition" are juxtaposed.
