Indian Debauchery
About This Novel
The first collection of essays by Japanese contemporary photographer and essayist Shinya Fujiwara contains a total of twenty essays, mainly describing his feelings while living in India. At the age of twenty-three, he gave up his studies. He traveled to cities, villages and markets in India, experienced sandstorms, witnessed local people's water burials and cremations by the Ganges River, climbed snow-capped mountains with ascetics, and observed the daily lives of ordinary villagers. The India he saw was a hot country. People here did not have excessively abundant material culture, and their lifestyle was simple and crude. However, everyone still had enthusiasm and freedom. No matter humble or noble, every soul lived in the way he wanted. Here, life presents itself as something authentic, with both beauty and ugliness in full bloom, dwarfing all forms of expression.
