Details	Analyzing three works by Tanizaki Junichiro which represent three different stages in his career as a writer　-市制 Shisei (The Tatooer, 1910), 痴人の愛 Chijin no Ai (Naomi, 1924) and 瘋癲老人日記Fûten Rôjin Nikki (Diary of a Mad Old Man, 1961)-, I plan to study the metaphorical relationship between desire and masochism as projected in his amoral stories through its materialization into changes that the male characters cause in the female body in the form of tattooing, identification with an ideal and/or metonymic fetishism with the object of receiving physical and psychological pleasure.
