Yukio Mishima and the book written by his male lover Jiro Hukushima.
Jiro Hukushima
Fukushima authored a book depicting his relationship with Mishima, but Mishima’s family filed a lawsuit seeking a ban on further publication of the book, released in March 1998. Fukushima lost the court battle in November 2000.
The book, “Yukio Mishima — Ken to Kankou” (“Yukio Mishima — Sword and Winter Red”), contains 15 letters written by Mishima.
Fukushima was nominated for the Akutagawa Award twice. The award was named after the author Ryūnosuke Akutagawa [photo].
