Whew. I love Mishima, but it looks like I will have to be a humble partial completist. All the same, great choice.
Unpublished translations available on the net: - "Three Primary Colors," a one-act play from 1955, translated by Miles McElrath;
- "The Monster" (1949), and
- "The Peacocks" (1965) two short stories translated by David. O. Mills.

Forbidden colors
is in any way connected either to the film "good Christmas Mr.Laurence"

Hi Dan - sorry for the four year delay. I understand that originally "forbidden colours" was a reference to clothing colours that were reserved for the Emperor at court. It came to mean, however, a reference to forbidden love ... homosexuality. Hence it was used in the title of this novel, and for the title of the song.
I was blown away by the tetralogy, Golden Pavilion (saw it in Kyoto), Man Grace Sea. All amazing
