R to @jnc_knight: Ranpo’s Kotō no oni (The Demon of the Lonely Isle) remains a rare portrait of queerness in 1930s Japan. Eventually, Rampo also explored themes of same-sex attraction in essays, freeing him from the genre constraints of mystery novels.

R to @jnc_knight: Kashō’s bishounen were also a big hit in girls’ magazines like Shōjo no Tomo, where the beauty and kindness in their design emphasized their allure. These idealized representations became icons in Japanese pop culture! 👀✨
