“I think of you as both father and husband”

I think I should’ve done more research on this one

Nothing all that intriguing about this other than an interesting description of Japan in the 1920’s.

This was quite a surprise. Has similar vibe to Venus In Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch and would also serve as an interesting present for anyone's friend who is clearly on a downwards spiral of losing their dignity (and giving up on their core principles) due to blind obsession/love/passion towards someone.
