I continue a talk about relativeness of [ The Night Porter ] and [ Junichiro Tanizaki ]today.

Do you know the film director[ Liliana Cavani ] of "The Night Porter"shot a movie[ The Berlin Affair ]?
This movie was remaked to "Manji"of his novel.
I remember that I've came across original piece of this movie was Japanease novel.
But unfortunately,I have never seen this movie.
And I sliped out of my memory before I knew it.

The other day,I remembered this movie suddenly.
I checked it on You Tube.
Japanease main actress Mio Takaki is a very beautiful!
I absolutely see this movie but there are nowhere in DVD...oniy tape.
This is moving image"The Berlin Affeir".



By the way,this movie is original novel"Manji".
hum...I'd like to see both.



I am so glad to have a chance to see Junichiro Tanisaki's novel at this late date.
Please check these movie if you are interested in.

In Japanese literature,love pact was taked up as a theme.
What is it like literatures in your country??

When you ask Japanease dominas which is the most inspired novel,most of them will say [ Yukio Mishima ] or [ Junichiro Tanizaki ].
My affected novelist is [ Toshiyuki Kajiyama ] but not lots of people does not mention about them...
I had never met anyone who mentioned their names as their most inspired authours before.

Toshiyuki Kazuyama is a journalist,novelist also.
BDSM and fetishism,lesbian and homosexual,diva and new harf are appear in his novel.
I read his novel "Keep men"or"lover boy slave"when I was22,23years old.
These titles are shocking title, aren`t these ?
I was intrigued by after war`s Japanese under ground world .

I have never bend my eyes on "JunichiroTanizaki"before.
But I read his novel unexpectedly recently.
This trigger is [ The Night Porter ],Charlotte Rampling star in the film.

What relate to "Junichiro Tanizaki" and those movies?
Let's talk about it next time.
See you later!

Autumn is the best season for art.
I write my favorite artist.

First,about[ Erte ]!!
I found his poster 17,8 years ago.
I had a crush on it instantaneously and bought on impulse.
This art is same at that time.



Nice place in Tokyo if you like Erte.
Click here!![ Museum1999 ]
A lot of Erte's arts in this restaurant.Bronze statue also!!
Dinner time is expensive but lunch time is so-so price.
And bar below ground is cost-effective.This bar is opened til 3or 4AM.
I go to this restaurant or bar alone every once in a while when my creative mind is run dry.

This is Erte also.

What a dream..I will get it someday!!



Next,about [ George Barbier ]!!
I have a romantic time in his art everytime.
I go to "another world"at this time.



Third,about [ Lawrence Alma-Tadema ]I love!

It's around 15 years ago that first meeting with his art.
It was at the museum in Amsterdam.
I didn't know his name even I didn't know he held his exhibition at same time.
I went up the stairs and my face up...whew!!
Another time and world had sprawled there!!
It was shocked to me...I stayed long time at the exhibition.

This art was big so much.
So,I didn't know that this view was in art or real.
People in art had a good complexion and lived,it seems like they started to talk me.


I won't be able to like specially but I am not able to foget this name [ Paul Cézanne ].
My father taught me his name when I was child.
Paul Cézanne lacked of friends but one day a boy gave him an apple.
Because of this or not,he drew an apple often in his art.

I felt nothing with his art when I was I child,but somehow that episode was unforgettable.
But before long,I don't like him really much as I get older bit by bit.
Because I felt his life was alone.

Can say"don't like it" but Can't say "hate it".
I think his art is not distinctive and popular art in impressionistic painting.
I may be afraid of his life that he had to adhere just one apple,not about his art.

...If.
He was homosexual than he fail in love with that boy...
So I like his art if it was punch line...
