Literary sources include the work of Jun'ichirō Tanizaki, Kyoka Izumi, Kido Okamoto, Seishi Yokomizo, and Fūtarō Yamada. The book also includes homage works connected with illustrator Hikozo Ito and artist Kashō Takabatake, as well as works reflecting the influence of Ukiyo-e master Tsukioka Yoshitoshi. The volume collects Yamamoto's illustrations inspired by or commissioned for these sources; it does not reproduce the complete novels or plays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTakato Yamamoto was born in 1960. Working from a foundation in Ukiyo-e, he developed the \"Ukiyo-e Pop\" approach and refined it further into what he terms \"Heisei Decadence\" — a style applied across aesthetic novels, fantasy and erotic fiction, historical literature, book cover design, and advertising illustration. He is a member of the International Ukiyo-e Society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEdition Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the first printing of the 2025 (newly designed edition).
