Reviews
"... has been designed to enable readers of literature in English to experience the pleasures of Japanese erotic fiction, and thereby to broaden their imaginative and intellectual horizons. Perhaps this evocative volume will even encourage them to attempt their own variations. The anthology has stimulated me to give its readers a glimpse into some of the relevant aspects of modern Japanese literary-cultural history."
