Considered Yukio Mishima's ideological and literary testament, 'The Sea of Fertility' is a tetralogy that covers the evolution of Japan from the beginning of the 20th century to the 1960s. Through his narrative, Mishima expresses his rebellion against a society he considered mired in moral and spiritual decadence. The love story between Kiyoaki and Satoko is the central axis of 'Spring Snow', the first novel in this series, where Shigekuni Honda acts as a witness and protagonist. Mishima portrays the rapid opening towards Western and bourgeois ways of life that led to the Meiji restoration in Japan, to the detriment of traditional culture.
Kimitake Hiraoka, known by his pen name Yukio Mishima, was a Japanese novelist, playwright, short story writer, actor, martial artist, model, and the leader of an attempted coup d'état that culminated in his seppuku. He is considered one of the most important postwar stylists of the Japanese language.
