To describe a work relative to it's cultural heritage and the like is of course very valuable, but to appreciate a piece of writing for being just that; a piece of writing, can often be just as valuable. I think you have done well here, in not assuming any omniscience in fiction, but rather asserting the beauty of the writing. You have here succeeded with enchanting the reader and incited a wish to explore Mishima, just as much as an analysis exposing the value of the work in relation to the culture and such, if not even more. Vivid language, apt portrayal/description, quite simply great indeed.
