The Nude Woman

“Every woman wants to show it off.”

Saeko, a 27-year-old housewife without children, loves reading books and often goes to a nearby library. She accidentally comes across a dirty magazine filled with pictures of naked women. Among the photos, she finds one of a young woman who seems different than all the others and, out of curiosity, decides to write to her. Through the correspondences, Saeko comes to understand herself.
