The shifting sexual norms in Japan's literary history
More than 3,000 women and almost 900 men — that's the number of lovers the main protagonist in Ihara Saikaku's 1682 novel "Koshoku Ichidai Otoko" ("The Life of an Amorous Man") tallies up as he reminisces. Saikaku, born in Osaka in 1642, became a renowned poet who wrote about the fluid, open sexuality of Edo Period (1603-1868) pleasure quarters with a startling lack of inhibition: In the 1685 collection of stories "Koshoku Gonin Onna" ("Five Women Who Loved Love"), he explores the love lives of feisty females; in "Koshoku Ichidai Onna" ("The Life of an Amorous Woman"), published in 1686, he includes a brief lesbian scene; and then there is "Nanshoku Okagami" ("The Great Mirror of Male Love"), a 1687 collection that focuses exclusively on love between men.
