An important contribution to Japan's postwar literature and
politics, this early work by Yukio Mishima, one of
twentieth-century Japan's greatest novelists, is based on the
strike which took place in the mid-1950s at Omi Kenshi, a silk
manufacturer not far from Kyoto. Mishima's characters are
fascinating and thoroughly believable, and the events described
faithfully reflect the management/labor tensions of that period.
Superbly translated by Hiro Sato, this is one of the last works
of Mishima to be translated into English. It remains a fascinating
work of literature and an excellent piece of social commentary on
the transformation of Japanese business from the old paternalism --
which was by no means all that benevolent -- to a new world where
labor unions were as active as any social institution in enhancing
their image
