"Jupiter" is the second story in the same collection "Pink" appears in, 焔 (The Flame), which won the Tanizaki Prize in its year. I'm still looking for a publisher for the whole mind-blowing thing!

I got these for Jólabókaflóðið last night and for Christmas this morning. The in-laws know me so well lol (although I have already read the Tanizaki, but I’m always happy to have different editions).

I think I know what I’ll do for the rest of the day! 🤓
I’m standing naked in a dark bedroom. The light from the window is lighting up my body. I’m holding a stack of books in one hand.

In my festive procrastination I forgot it was #WiPWednesday, so please indulge me in some literary humour probably no-one will get... but it would make my year if anyone did!
Text reads: '"Speaking of books, I got you something," Levi said, reaching down for the package he'd been holding surreptitiously when they entered. He held it in both hands as he passed it to her over the table. 'Nifa unwrapped it carefully. She smiled as she pulled it out of the black paper: a hardbound copy of Naomi by Junichiro Tanizaki. '"Levi, this is really thoughtful of you," she said, looking at the front and then the back cover. "Do you have any idea what this book is about?" '"To be honest, it caught my eye because the girl on the cover's hair is like yours," he admitted, a little awkwardly. "But when I read the blurb I thought it might be relevant." '"Oh, it's definitely relevant," she said with a smirk. "Extremely so. Just… perhaps not in quite the way you thought." 'Levi cocked his head quizzically at her and frowned. '"Don't look at me like that," she said with a slight chuckle. "I'm really happy you bought me this. You ever read philosophy at all?" '"A little," Levi shrugged. "Depends how verbose and up its own ass it is." '"Then I think you should read In Praise of Shadows by the same author," she said, lifting her copy of Naomi a final time before laying it down on the seat beside her. "It's an essay about aesthetics; it's not too long. I think you'd appreciate it — it's very you."'

23日から開催される個展の展示内容のご紹介を、こちらでも何回かにわけてPOSTします。（でもこっちは投稿数減らそう…）

その１・展示タイトルとコンセプト、プロフィールとドローイングに至る道について
#探偵と音楽
12/23－28　gallery shell102
YOUCHANドローイング即売展　探偵と音楽 ドローイング　1点11,000円（税込） 大好きな探偵小説と、国内外の音楽をモチーフに、ドローイングを作成しました。世界に一つだけの小さなアートを、お部屋の彩りや、大切な方への贈り物にどうぞ！ （ご精算後、そのままお持ち帰りいただけます） 作家プロフィール YOUCHAN（ユーチャン） イラストレーター。愛知県西尾市出身。名古屋総合デザイン専門学校卒。デザイン事務所勤務を経てフリーランスに。紆余曲折を経て現在に至る。普段はデジタル（おもにAdobe Fresco）でイラストレーションを描く仕事をしており、SFや探偵小説界隈が得意分野である。 ドローイングを始めたのは2023年の年始。漫画家が多数参加するグループ展になぜか私も参加しており、ミニ色紙にドローイングを描いて即売するという流れになる。人気漫画家さんの中にあって、超アウェー及び圧倒的無名な自分はどうしようかと考えていたが、豊川稲荷に向かう地下鉄内で思いついた。大昔に使っていたジェッソで下地を塗って、マスキングしてアクリルで塗って剥がしてその上にペン画を描いたらどうだろうか、と。初詣から戻ってすぐに試してみる。思いの外、そのドローイングは好評で、無事完売となる。以来、個展のたびに数点描いては販売していた。そして今年の夏、東京古書会館で開催された「大阪圭吉展」に関わっていた御縁で、圭吉作品をモチーフにしたドローイングを展示販売してもらう。こちらもお陰様で完売となり、その経緯もまとめた図録『大阪圭吉を描く　YOUCHANドローイング作品集』を盛林堂ミステリアス文庫より発売した。 これまでサブ扱いであったドローイングを、今回の個展ではメインに据え、4枚のストックと、52枚の新作と、あわせて56枚を展示販売いたします。お気に入りの一枚が見つかりますように。 途上 Written by Jun'ichiro Tanizaki illustrated by YOUCHAN 2025 illustrated by YOUCHAN 2025 いつか／どこか

Cat quote of the night.

11-30-25

#CatQuoteOfTheNight
#MenWithCats
“When he heard people with no knowledge of a cat's character saying that cats were not as loving as dogs, that they were cold and selfish, he always thought to himself how impossible it was to understand the charm and lovableness of a cat if one had not, like him, spent many years living alone with one. The reason was that all cats are to some extent shy creatures: they won't show affection or seek it from their owners in front of a third person but tend rather to be oddly standoffish. Lily too would ignore Shozo or run off when he called her, if his mother were present. But when the two of them were alone, she would climb up on his lap without being called and devote the most flattering attention to him.” - Junichiro Tanizaki

Fellow Oscar Wilde lovers, fans of Poe or tales of the macabre, gothic, & unearthly, I can't recommend enough Junichiro #Tanizaki & his Seven Japanese Tales!

♥️ The Tattooer esp., one of my FAV. short stories where a spider tattoo takes on Dorian Grey-like supernatural qualities. #Books #Authors
Cover of Seven Japanese Tales by Junichiro Tanizaki shows a woman dressed in a kimono, her back naked and revealed to the audience, as she faces away, looking to the side. Both behind her and on her actual body are a spider's web. Japanese cover art for The Tattooer shows very clearly the spider tattoo on the woman's back. It's the key to the story.

I've kept the "worldbuilding" of Maidens deliberately loose and occluded. Many things and people exist in Maidens as they did in the reality of 1980 (the works of Yukio Mishima and Junichiro Tanizaki, Great Britain, the dance crazes of the 60s) but the world is vastly different

Cover Debut! - Bungo Stray Dogs, Vol. 26

Dostoyevsky’s first act is to pierce Fukuchi with the two skill-infused blades lying at his feet! As Tanizaki and the other members of the agency fall one by one, can Atsushi find a way out of this hopeless situation?!

🖊️ In Praise of Shadows — Is Darkness “Evil”?

Today, I’d like to introduce an essay by Jun’ichirō Tanizaki.
And speaking of shadows — have you seen Demon Slayer?
It, too, hides a quiet key.

Very broadly for the class it’s that it’s a novel about being a reader and the relationship between the writer and the reader. Each of the false start novels is also a parody of a real novel or writer Calvino admired - Tanizaki, Rulfo, Borges, Chesterton, and others.
