Mishima’s Pavilion | Interior Design

“Dreams, memories, the sacred–they are all alike in that they are beyond our grasp. Once we are even marginally separated from what we can touch, the object is sanctified; it acquires the beauty of the unattainable, the quality of the miraculous. Everything, really, has this quality of sacredness, but we can desecrate it at a touch. How strange man is! His touch defiles and yet he contains the source of miracles.”
― Yukio Mishima, Spring Snow

“I still have no way to survive but to keep writing one line, one more line, one more line…”
― Yukio Mishima

“Possessing by letting go of things was a secret of ownership unknown to youth.”
― Yukio Mishima

“Only knowledge can turn life’s unbearableness into a weapon.”
― Yukio Mishima, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion
