Golden Pavilion Temple

About This Novel

The young Mizoguchi had always had low self-esteem due to his physical defects and even lost the confidence and joy of life. His only spiritual support was the pursuit of beauty in the famous tourist attraction Kinkakuji Temple. However, he increasingly felt that the eternal existence of beauty was an obstacle to the pursuit of secular life, so he finally burned the Kinkakuji Temple and got rid of the restriction of "beauty" on life. The image of human beings being easily destroyed reveals the illusion of immortality, while the solid beauty of Kinkaku-ji Temple reveals the possibility of destruction. This book is a sign of the maturity of Mishima's unique aesthetics.
