In the cold rain, at Tsurumi Shrine in Yokohama, the 50th death day Memorial service of Yukio Mishima was held by the former member of Tatenokai , an unarmed civilian militia formed by Yukio Mishima.
About 100 people attended the service.
With Yukio Mishima, Masakatsu Morita, who committed seppuku suicide with Mishima was remembered.
Interview with Hiroshi Shinohara, a former Tatenokai member
“It's been 50 years, and I’m glad that Master Mishima and a commrade Morita are getting attention more and more.”

In the afternoon, annual mourning rally called Yukokuki, "Patriotism Memorial", was held in Tokyo.About 400 people attended.
Even 50 years after his death, a new documentary film is on the long run for 11 months. Yukio Mishima's popularity hasn't declined yet.
JNN, a Japanese news network of TBS affiliation, releases Yukio Mishima's "last letter" for the first time in 50 years. This was addressed to his close friend, Ichiro Murakami, a writer. Yukio Mishima's deep feelings before the day of the uprising were implicitly included in this letter.

Yukio Mishima left several suicide notes. On the other hand, the last ordinary letter was two letters dated 6 days before the incident. The letter addressed to the seniors at the school has already been published, and although the existence of another letter to Ichiro Murakami was known, the letter itself was never published. This is the only the first time publication after his death 50 years ago.
This letter was kept by a doctor and researcher of Yukio Mishima, Kiyoshi Inuzuka, who agreed that the letter should be released as an unknown historical material by Yukio Mishima at the 50th anniversary of his death.

In this letter, Yukio Mishima wrote that he gave up trying to attain the understanding of the public about his "emperorism", in which Mishima uphold the emperor centered national system, when a critic said to Mishima "I don't understand your insistence on the emperoism".
He wrote in the letter “I don't understand that they don’t understand. I don't feel like explaining it anymore."
Mishima also mentioned about his readings as follows.
"Recent readings are Plato's" Phaedon "and" Genzui Kusaka’s Remainders ".
”Phaedon" is a Plato’s work about the dialogue on the immortality of the soul and report of the death of Socrates by his disciple Phaedon.
In it, after Socrates “proves” "immortality of the soul", Socrates calmly poisons himself.
Another book Mishima fondly read, so he revealed, was a remainders of Genzui Kusaka, the most radical proimperial samurai in the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Kusaka killed himself as Seppuku style when he failed to force into Kyoto to seize the hegemony of the imperial court (Kinmon Incident).
Mishima quotes the two poems by Kusaka in the letter.
Both are waka poems that read the determination of throwing out life, by using such words as "transient life" and "Samurai doesn’t spare his life."

Naoki Inose, a writer known for Yukio Mishima's biography,Persona, talks about this letter.
"Ichiro Murakami is a poet, so Mishima might have thought that Murakami could best understand the meaning of two waka poems
These poems virtually tell that the person would kill himself for his own cause.
Mishima was anxious to be understood a little by somebody although he couldn’t spill the beans of what he was planning. It's different from lingering regret, but I think he definitely wanted to convey what was in his chest. Mishima was interviewed by a critic named Furubayashi the day before, and Mishima must have thought that nobody could understand what he cherishes. He thought that only Murakami could understand. That’s why he wrote the letter to Murakami. He didn’t want to talk with anybody who didn't understand himself. "
