It consists of four acts. It is one of Mishima's masterpieces and a popular play that continues to be performed repeatedly [1]. Set at the Grand Night Party held at Rokumeikan during the Tenchoseki Festival in 1881, it dramatically depicts the tragedy of a man and woman, parent and child, tossed about amidst a whirlwind of politics and love, intrigue and love and hate. With its rhetorically rich, poetic, uplifting dialogue and precise composition, it is a work in which one can enjoy a grand theatrical performance of gorgeous beauty of style [1][2]. Mishima wrote of his own work, “This play is, in a sense, the first ‘work for the art of acting’ that I have written. In 1956, the play was published in the December issue of the literary magazine “Bungakukai,” and the first performance was given at Dai-ichi Seimei Hall on November 27, immediately after the issue went on sale, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the founding of Bungakuza. The book version was published by Tokyo Sogensha on March 5, 1957, and the paperback version was published by Shincho Bunko. The book was published by Tokyo Sogensha on March 5, 1957, and the paperback edition was published by Shincho Bunko. The translation was done by Hiroaki Sato (English title: The Rokumeikan) and Georges Neyrand (French title: Le Palais des fêtes). Establishment and Outline of the WorkThe setting of “The Rokumeikan” is the recently completed Rokumeikan of the Meiji era (1868-1912), and the characters are members of the nobility (also known as the nobility of merit and distinguished service during the Meiji Restoration). The grand ball on the day of the performance is based on the ball depicted in Pierre Loti's “The Edo Ball” and Ryunosuke Akutagawa's “The Ball. Mishima's meaning was not to reproduce the caricatures of the time depicting the ridiculousness of Japanese people dancing at the Rokumeikan, but to depict a ball that is “more beautiful than reality” in our image, a “floral and romantic age rarely seen in modern Japanese history, colored with nostalgia.
