“Shunkinsho” is a novella by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki. It depicts an essential aestheticism that transcends masochism in the story of Sasuke, a young servant, who devotedly serves Shunkin, a blind shamisen player. The unique style, which boldly omits punctuation and line breaks, is a characteristic feature. It is one of Tanizaki's representative works and has been frequently adapted into films. It was published in the June 1933 issue of "Chūō Kōron."
