He posed for an album of photographs by the fashionable photographer Eikoh Hosoe. In these magnificent pictures he appears in a number of extraordinary poses—lying on his back in his garden against a baroque ornament, stripped naked, with a white rose in his mouth, or lying upon his hairy chest. The album Barakei (“Torture by Roses”) gave Mishima a bad reputation in some quarters. Critics and other writers who disliked him said he was going off his head at last.
