Sensual cover/ Mishima connection

[Jorn Barger <barger@aristotle.ils.nwu.edu>]

Some weeks ago someone here noted a similarity between the KT-with-rose pose 
and a photo of Yukio Mishima (?) on the cover of a biography of same...

I happened to run into the very book in a 2nd hand store yesterday and my 
opinion is that the pose, and especially the psychotic gaze, are too 
strikingly similar to be an accident.

Unless I'm confusing another Japanese celebrity, Mishima was a gay novelist 
and extreme reactionary who almost singlehandedly hijacked a military compound 
and then committed hara kiri practically or actually on live tv, I think in 
the 60's.  Just the kind of drama that might fascinate KT.

So is there a song on TSW that echoes something of his life or works?
