-- Do dig up some info onthat. And the awardwinning book they talked about
in the next paragraph sounds pretty awesome:
"Her award-winning work, "Hyosa no Utau," is a sophisticated historical
novel depicting a pathetic former samurai who induces customers in a
red-light district in Tokyo's downtown Nezu after finding himself unable to
catch up with the tide of the Meiji Restoration."
What's not to love about a down on his luck samurai rounding up customers
for the local house of ill repute. I'm sure it's all literary and not what
I'd really like to see but the premise is cool.
