One of Mishima's early novels and highly significant as a contribution to Japan's postwar literature and politics, Silk and Insight is based on the strike -- often described as the most significant in the history of Japan's postwar labor movement -- which took place at Omi Kenshi, a silk thread and fabric manufacturer not far from Kyoto. While Mishima has populated the book with interesting and thoroughly believable fictional characters, the events he narrates faithfully reflect the tensions of that period and give a unique picture of the strife upon which Japan's later successful management/labor relations were built.
