I spent plenty of nights weeping into my pillow...
...magazine was blue enough to make a Times Square news dealer wince, but Japanese intellectuals have since made Nakata into a kind of Ginza Ginzburg. Critic Isamu Kurita, writing in the influential Tokyo daily Yomiuri Shimbun, warned that excessive official zeal in enforcing Japan's tough obscenity laws could lead to "the barbarization of our culture and civilization in its crudest form." Tokyo Psychology Professor Kazuo Shimada sputtered that Nakata's arrest was unfair because sex "is a personal and private matter." Mitsuo Takeya, a leading Japanese nuclear physicist, worried that government repression "could end up by distorting...
