Licentious Fictions: Ninjo and the Nineteenth-Century Japanese Novel

Nineteenth-century Japanese literary discourse and narrative developed a striking preoccupation with ninjo--literally "human emotion," but often used in reference to amorous feeling and erotic desire. In Licentious Fictions, Daniel Poch investigates the significance of ninjo in defining the literary modernity of nineteenth-century Japan.
