Junichiro Tanizaki's background, so we can see his youth from his works.

Including his marriage situation below, we can always see the shadows of Sasuke, Hiroshi Dihara and Zhang. Bowing to women and pursuing beauty beyond ethics are distinct themes in Junichiro Tanizaki's literary career. He especially appreciates the spirit of worshipping women embodied in Japanese heian period literature. This is particularly prominent in Qin Chunwen's case. In order to keep the image of the beautiful goddess Qin Chun in her mind, Sasuke did not hesitate to disfigure her face, which was obviously contrary to the secular dress at that time. Emphasize the beauty of women and advocate that men must submit to women's knees. This is the main creative thought that Junichiro Tanizaki has been advocating since he published his first novel.

Most of his works highlight that "all beautiful things are strong and ugly things are weak" and strongly praise-functional beauty.

There are distorted personalities and hobbies everywhere in the works, and the morbid pleasure of sadism and abuse shows the beauty of women in cruelty. Junichiro Tanizaki himself once said: "Art is the discovery of sexual desire." Junichiro Tanizaki's mother is a traditional Japanese classical woman, and the worship of her mother has created Junichiro Tanizaki's "Oedipus Complex".

Junichiro Tanizaki was a heretic of that era.
