”Hijikata’s early subversive themes were drawn from the writings of Jean Genet that he read in the mid- 1950’s – The Thief’s Journal (1949) and Our lady of Flowers (1944) – just translated into Japanese. He even performed for a while under the stage name of Hijikata Genet.” (Fragleigh & Nakamura 2006, 8.)
