FRIDAY FRIDAY First Issue Yukio Mishima / Motoko Ito / Mariko Kurata / Shigeki Nakae / Yoshiaki Yoshimura / Yasue & Yasuyo Michi / Katsumi Hirosawa et al. Published November 23, 1984, Kodansha This is the first issue of the photo weekly magazine "FRIDAY" published in November 1984 (Showa 59). The magazine featured the shocking photos discovered 14 years after his death, under the title "The Weight of Yukio Mishima's 'Seppuku' Now," including a close-up of Mishima's severed head, which was more than just a scoop; it was a true "shock." Other articles included photos of the scene immediately after the incident, the Japanese sword (Sekimagaroku) used by Mishima for his seppuku, Mishima giving a speech, and the death poems of the five members of the Tatenokai who participated in the coup. The extremely graphic photos were not included, but some of the less controversial parts are included for your reference. This item has been carefully preserved, but is being offered for sale due to book collection reorganization. This is a very valuable item. I hope to sell it to Mishima fans and those who are interested. Yukio Mishima Photo Collection Magazine
