Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Fumiko Enchi (Enchi Fumiko?, 2 October 1905 - 12 November 1986) was the pen-name of Fumi Ueda, one of the most prominent Japanese women writers in the Sh wa period of Japan. Fumiko Enchi was born in the Asakusa district of downtown Tokyo, as the daughter of distinguished philologist and linguist Kazutoshi Ueda. Of poor health as a child, she was unable to attend classes in school on a regular basis, so her father decided to keep her at home. She was taught English, French and Chinese literature through private tutors. She was also strongly influenced by her grandmother, who introduced her to the Japanese classics such as The Tale of Genji, and Kabuki and Bunraku theater. At 13, her reading list included the works of Oscar Wilde, Edgar Allan Poe, Ky ka Izumi, Nagai Kafu, Ry nosuke Akutagawa, and especially Jun'ichir Tanizaki, whose sado-masochistic aestheticism particularly fascinated her.
