No doubt it would have been possible to get over my terrible feeling of dissatisfaction - dissatisfaction that the world and I had been placed in a relationship of antagonism. It would have been possible by changing either myself or the world. But I hated dreaming about such changes. I loathed preposterous dreams of this kind. The logical conclusion that I reached after much hard work was that if the world changed, I could not exist, and if I changed, the world could not exist. And paradoxically enough, this conclusion represented a type of reconciliation, a type of compromise. It was possible, you see, for the world to co-exist with the idea that looking as I did, I could never be loved. And the trap into which the deformed person finally falls does not lie in his resolving the state of antagonism between himself and the world, but instead takes the form of his completely approving of this antagonism. That's why a deformed person can never really be cured.

When I read Confessions of a Mask, a semiautobiographical novel by Yukio Mishima, I remember being struck by how much the whole thing reminded me of Saionji. What I didn't realize at the time was that Yukio Mishima actually did kendo in real life (4th dan).

#revolutionary girl utena #shoujo kakumei utena #saionji kyouichi #kyouichi saionji #yukio mishima #one of the writers or directors was reading confessions of a mask when episode 7 was just starting to be planned #and that gave ikuhara the idea to make juri gay #since it's about a closeted gay man #but the book itself gives off major saionji vibes #very poignantly written though #i recently got one of mishima's other books used for 50 cents #the temple of the golden pavilion #i wonder if it'll remind me of saionji too

“Insensitive people are only upset when they actually see the blood, but actually by the time that the blood has been shed the tragedy has already completed.”

Kinkaku-ji, the Golden Pavilion

Inspired by video from @shinjiaratani.  Thank you for the memories, almost 60 years ago when I visited Kyoto.

little celebration of me finally reading something, even though it's so busy lately i can barely enjoy my own company.

#the way i gasped when i found this book at my uni's library #i also found the temple of the golden pavilion #and so many other books i've been meaning to read for years #and they're in such a hiding corner. it's like i found a treasure vault #i;

The movement of Kashiwagi's hands could only be described as magnificent. One small decision followed another, and the effects of contrast and symmetry converged with infallible artistry. Nature's plants were brought vividly under the sway of an artificial order and made to conform to an established melody. The flowers and leaves, which had formerly existed as they were, had now been transformed into flowers and leaves as they ought to be. The cat-tails and irises were no longer individual, anonymous plants belonging to their respective species, but had become terse, direct manifestations of what might be called the essence of irises and cat-tails.

Yet there was something cruel about the movement of his hands. They behaved as though they had some unpleasant, gloomy privilege in relation to the plants. Perhaps it was because of this that each time that I heard the sound of the scissors and saw the stem of one of the flowers being cut I had the impression that I could detect the dripping of blood.

“To see human beings in agony, to see them covered in blood and to hear their death groans, makes people humble. It makes their spirits delicate, bright, peaceful. It's never at such times that we become cruel or bloodthirsty. No, it's on a beautiful spring afternoon like this that people suddenly become cruel. It's at a moment like this, don't you think, while one's vaguely watching the sun as it peeps through the leaves of the trees above a well–mown lawn? Every possible nightmare in the world, every possible nightmare in history, has come into being like this.”
