TATENOKAI ENJOYER

I urge all followers of this channel, nay rather - all devoted followers - to follow our (because its not only mine) new path. This channel will remain, but it would be inconvenient to make it active again, since it risks getting a strike for ''association'' with a banned account - therefore it will act as our collective 'museum'.

That being said; follow the Instagram where I publish mini-essays (instagram.com/tatenokaienjoyer), Twatter (x.com/MishimasGhost) where I annoy people. But most importantly the channel ''Mishimas Ghost'' where I will publish a new video soon; youtube.com/@Mishimaghost

I do not have the energy to explain anything, I’ll just leave these links (in the comment since YT requires a verification to post here):

Since I’ve noticed a rapid increase in subscribers and comments on this channel, I feel it’s time to clarify. This channel will serve as a museum. That means: no new videos will be uploaded here, and I won’t be answering comments. This is simply to reduce the risk of the channel being taken down! The channel where I’ll continue publishing is: youtube.com/@TheShieldSociety

Temple of Dawn this Saturday.

Short update; I've got a lot on my plate right now, which has slowed down my editing pace. I’d rather release a well-polished video than something rushed. So, The Temple of Dawn is coming, just not as quickly as I had hoped. I'm also happy to share that I’ve started working on brand-new videos—Blessed Karl, Manchukuo and a fresh take on Imperial Japan with twist among others. I’ve also gone through the most frequently requested reuploads and created a dedicated document to keep track of them. Wishing everyone a great weekend—embrace the eternal struggle!

''An artist who actualizes all his creative possibilities, good and bad, beautiful and ugly, and succeeds—through the pure realization of a will to power that will not yield to anything in this world—in condensing them into a single momentous event, the effect of which is so beautiful yet so shocking that those who contemplate it are left wondering whether it is a work of art or an act of madness, has surely achieved a masterpiece of some kind. It is, as Mishima intended it to be, a cruel and defiant masterpiece: a terror attack on the modern consciousness, a warning to the “last humans,” and a challenge to all those coming after Mishima who would dare to call themselves artists.''

This weekend, I’m launching ''The Tetralogy Project''— starting with a refreshed take on Spring Snow. The original version felt too focused on Mishima himself, leaving the book as a secondary plotline. A separate Mishima edit with the old song might still happen later.
I once again would like to point out: please avoid posting video requests under published uploads. I’ve taken note of the most requested ones and will make minor improvements in time. It becomes quite annoying. If you have new requests, feel free to leave them under this video instead.
For March, I’ll be publishing one video per week, til the whole project is complete. Most of it is complete, except for Temple of Dawn, which I’m still figuring out.

Wishing you all a great weekend—I hope you’ll enjoy what’s coming!

👏 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 𝐏𝐭. 𝟑 👏

𝑨𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏 by 𝑱𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒔 - 𝑲𝒂𝒓𝒍 𝑯𝒖𝒚𝒔𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒔
The Picture of Dorian Gray on steroids. A forgotten masterpiece, peak aesthetics, and perhaps the funniest book I’ve ever read. It delivers an incredible finale and a critique of modern bourgeois society. The book is not only worth reading because it's an outstanding work of art but also because of how it has sadly been forgotten (and outside of France, its Catholic author has been memory-holed). However, its influence on literature is immense. For example, the infamous “Yellow Book” read by Dorian Gray which correlates with his ‘’actions’’ is Against the Grain. And the writer that the protagonist in the earlier book club inclusion Submission by Houellebecq obsesses over is Huysmans.

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒇𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒈 𝑻ö𝒓𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔 – 𝑹𝒐𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒕 𝑴𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒍
Not for the lighthearted, not for everyone. It deals with themes of sadism, brutalization, and the conflict between intellect and action. Set in a remote village during the final years of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, the descriptions are vivid while always being sharp and never overly indulgent. Musil’s writing is incredible. Though a modernist work in some ways, it also rejects aspects of the modernist style, which I found refreshing and unique. To sum it up, it's a Bildungsroman gone rogue.

𝑵𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒔 𝒃𝒚 𝑨𝒌𝒖𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒘𝒂
The master of Japanese short fiction—his entire oeuvre is fantastic. Bizarre, nihilistic, funny. Reading him is like indulging in a fever dream, yet it never tips over into ‘’weird fiction’’ and remains grounded in realism. There are many different collections in English. My favorite short stories are Hell Screen, Cogwheels, and The Nose. A master of the short form and my personal favorite.

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒚 𝑨𝒍𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒕 𝑪𝒂𝒎𝒖𝒔
I don’t much care for the existentialists, and neither of Camus' books left any real mark on me or my way of thinking. I disliked The Stranger (though I respect the writing)—it really left me feeling nothing. I hated The Plague. However, his least-known novel is, in my opinion, by far his best and truly a masterpiece. The writing, the structure, the themes—unlike his other works, one can enjoy The Fall without having “the whole absurdism thing” thrown in your face.

𝑴𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒎𝒂 - 𝑨𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝑻𝟑𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕 𝒃𝒚 𝑨𝒏𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒘 𝑹𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒊𝒏
𝘽𝙀𝙒𝘼𝙍𝙀: I do not recommend this to anyone who isn’t already deeply familiar with Mishima—one should have read all his mandatory works and know much about his life before approaching this book. Not only will it spoil some of his novels, but it will also ruin the payoff of this one and likely leave a confused impression. It’s not a hard read per se, but it requires a bit of intellectual elasticity to fully grasp (as it is, in the end, an academic text). Going into it, one must understand Mishima not as the writer, not as the bodybuilder, not as the madman coup-maker—but as all of them, concentrated into one contradictory whole (though contradictions, in my view, are often not contradictions at all). What is refreshing is that this is not simply a biography or an essay—it is a work of art. Any other book about Mishima I’ve read pales in comparison. I would argue this is not only a masterpiece as an academic text but actually a masterpiece in literature itself.

As set out the goal of 1k was reached before 2025, happy new year to every one of you that are part of this great community! Let us hope this year will be a renaissance!
So what is going on right now; well I am currently working on the Tetrology Project. Where Spring Snow is in final stages. I want to publish every single title one after the other, and have them reflect the themes and atmosphere of the given book. Which the original spring snow in hindsight did not (then I didn’t plan on creating videos for the other books). For the coming month or so there will continue to be re-uploads/remakes. Then, I would like to finally start creating brand new videos!
𝘼𝙨 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙚𝙙 once 1k was hit the third Bookclub will be published, that will hopefully be this weekend. Til then, the books of the two preceding bookclubs were: Journey to the end of the night (Céline) The Sea of Fertility Tetrology and Sun and Steel (Mishima), Prussianism and Socialism (Spengler), The Crowd (Le Bon), Political Theology (Schmitt) Why Liberalism Failed (Deneen), Submission (Houellebecq), Blood Meridian (McCarthy), Harassment Architecture (Mike Ma).

I which you all a blessed Christmas. There will be one more video before the new year, and when 2025 starts I will publish the Tetrology. Let it be clear, acceleration leads to action. And when the time comes, Restoration and hopefully within our lifetime the total Reorganization! Now however, I want you all to support a channel that wen't trough the same fate as me, a channel that got nuked for NO REASON! Let us all support the Ständestaat expert! He didn't ask me to make this post, but I feel obliged since I find it a SHAME that he is on 66 followers when he puts out such great material! I am in a good mood, and I feel I want to promote some other channels. So please go and follow them!

Lets give my guy 150subs before the new year: youtube.com/@BMD7-REAL
And lets give my dear friend some more subs: youtube.com/@imperialraijin/videos
