| Summary | "刺靑" by Jun'ichiro Tanizaki is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is likely centered around the character 清吉 (Seikichi), a young tattoo artist, whose profession reveals the intersecting realms of beauty, pain, and desire in a society that values physical appearance and artistry, depicting a nuanced exploration of human emotions and relationships. The opening of "刺靑" introduces a world where tattooing is both an art form and a means of self-expression infused with cultural significance. Seikichi's skill as a tattoo artist is highlighted, as he is portrayed as someone deeply passionate about his craft, deriving a strange pleasure from the pain he inflicts during the tattooing process. This intricate interplay of pain and beauty sets the tone for his eventual encounter with a mysterious girl, whose feet captivate him, igniting his profound yearning for connection and inspiration. As the narrative progresses, Seikichi's artistic ambition and complex emotional landscape suggest themes of desire, identity, and the transformative power of art, establishing a rich foundation for the unfolding story.
