And the hypocrisy of that entire proceeding because politicians per Japanese culture. Specifically when you talk about the conservative politicians, which are the kind of people who generally end up being in power given the social structure of the country, social discipline based structure of the country that is Japan. The hypocrisy of the full, I would say, event of a politics who preaches and espouses these high ideals goes on and has an affair even though all of that

So, to this date, writers, TV producers, filmmakers, all of these genres are extremely wary of making satire. I think Gintama largely became popular. Gintama is an anime because it was satirizing a lot of anime, and none of the anime creators kind of went after Gintama. Instead, it became this Simpson like thing that we have to appear on Gintama for our show to kind of be popular or to have made it
First thing I want to tell you is that we are all humans and most of the problems whichever country, whichever culture we are talking about will be same. We we can relate to that. And coming to Japan yes, Japan also has patriarchy as India has. And you are talking about a book before 1970 means definitely it would be on very conservative thoughts. And how that conservative thoughts ends or how that conservative thoughts are becoming a problem both in domestic life and politics life

Yes, yes, definitely. That said, I didn't mean to imply that this book is nonfiction. This book is fiction, and it was inspired by something real that was happening in Japan. A politician had an affair and mishima saw the hypocrisy of it. Because of how quick he was in writing books, he created a fictional book on something real that was happening in Japan japanese politics. He was extremely frustrated by the radical shift in cultures that happened in Japan post the Second World War
