Set in a ryokan (Japanese-style inn), with actress Aki Kawasaki, Fake Love is reminiscent of a Showa era novel.
In addition to nudity and kimono, Yuko Ishiwata also dress up as striptease girls and perform a variety of other scenes.
Evocative of a mood from the past, the book as a whole is imbued with a certain melancholy.
