Go Mishima (三島剛, 1924–1988) was a Japanese artist known for his distinctive depictions of masculine figures within postwar Japanese underground visual culture. This untitled work is from Mishima’s 1972 Wakamono (“Young Men”) series. It is an unnumbered photolithograph on paper dating from 1972. No separate printing date, edition number or total edition size is stated on the sheet. The exact paper type and publisher information are unknown. The image is plate signed “三島剛画” in the upper-right area. The signature is printed as part of the image and is not hand-signed. No handwritten signature or edition number appears on the sheet. The composition depicts a powerfully built, tattooed young man seated in a relaxed yet commanding pose, wearing a vivid red fundoshi, a traditional Japanese loincloth. His intense sideways gaze and carefully balanced posture create a compelling contrast between physical strength, composure and quiet sensuality. Bold red koi, deep blue waves and small green details form an elaborate tattoo design across his shoulders and arms. These vivid traditional Japanese motifs contrast strikingly with the finely drawn anatomy, detailed body hair and restrained cream-coloured background. The result is a composition with both strong decorative impact and psychological presence. The work reflects Mishima’s characteristic combination of idealised male beauty, traditional Japanese imagery and emotional intensity, making it a distinctive example of postwar Japanese male figurative and homoerotic visual culture.
