Junichirou Watanabe, a famous contemporary writer, wrote a lot of novels with the subject of sexual love in extramarital affairs. Most of these works have been translated into other languages and received extensive concern in Japan, China and southeastern countries.His novels of sexual love are mainly concerned with marriage of contemporary middle and old people who consider that only in extramarital affairs can people arise passionate love. In his novels, he glorifies sexual love between different sexes falling into extramarital experience and emphasizes the love views that body is prior to spirit. This concept is rebellious to the traditional marriage in Japan as well as a kind of reflection of love and marriage in contemporary Japan. He calls for the emphasis of instinct and liberation of oneself. And his love concept is a continuity of open consciousness in Japanese literature and culture, which is consistent with that in western literature and culture.
