LESUNG jap. Literatur - TANIZAKI Jun' ichirō 谷崎 潤一郎 : Shisei 刺青 / Sprecher Kubota Hiroshi (*1951)

"Shisei (1910; The Tatoo), set in the premodern era of the early 19th century, depicts a tattooer and artist who becomes enslaved to a beautiful woman after tattooing a spider on her back while she slept. The richness and beauty of the style brought Tanizaki to the immediate attention of the reading public."
