Excerpt from The Secret by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki.

The dream-woman

I’d met at sea, the interior of a rickshaw on a rainy evening, the secrets of the city at night, blindness, silence—all these had merged to plunge me into the haze of a perfect mystery.

    海の上で知り合いになった夢のような女、大雨の晩の幌の中、夜の都会の秘密、盲目、沈黙―凡べての物が一つになって、渾然たるミステリーの靄の裡に私を投げ込んで了って居る。

    @Mizuki Thank you. Yes, it's one of the best paintings I've seen and I think it is a Ukiyo-e, as you have observed. ☺
