Remarques & avis / Review — Le contact entre MISHIMA Yukio et SHINOYAMA Kishin date de la fin des années 1960, où Mishima posa pour Shinoyama (cf. le célèbre St Sébastien) et Mishima écrivit son éloge de la photographie de Shinoyama (28 Girls). C'est ici un étrange et bel hommage que Shinoyama rend à Mishima avec Mishima Yukio no Ie, livre-photo et manière de catalogue, qui vit le jour grâce à l'épouse de Mishima, et qui passe la maison du célèbre écrivain, devenue musée et restée telle qu'en 1970, au peigne fin de l'objectif : portes, jardins, statues que n'aurait probablement pas rejeté Winckelmann, œuvres d'art de toutes sortes, objets, le salon, le bureau d'étude et de travail, surtout, et sa bibliothèque, aux nombreux plans rapprochés, l'observatoire... Le tout est entrecoupé de photographies de l'album de famille, que Shinoyama met en parallèle avec les siennes : peu de choses ont changé, l'homme seul n'y est plus.

The contact between Yukio MISHIMA and Kishin SHINOYAMA was established at the end of the 1960s, when Mishima posed for Shinoyama (cf. the famous S. Sebastian) and Mishima wrote the apology of Shinoyama's photography (28 Girls). It is here a strange and beautiful tribute that Shinoyama pays to Mishima with Mishima Yukio no Ie, which was made possible thanks to Mishima's wife, and which depicts Mishima's house in every detail : the gates, the garden, statues which Winckelmann would possibly not have recused, works of art if all kinds, objects, the living room, the study room and working place, above all of interest, and its bookshelves, with numerous close-ups, the observatory... The lot is punctuated with pictures from the family album, which Shinoyama puts in parallel with his own : few things have changed, only the man which is no more. A beautiful photobook.
