an actress and assistant director. In 1986, she formed a troupe called

novel, a semiautobiographical work titled Ishi ni Oyogu Sakana
(石㠫泳ã é­š, "The Fish Swimming in the Stone") published in the
September 1994 issue of the literary journal ShinchÅ , became the
focus of a legal and ethical controversy. The model for one of the
novel's main charactersâ€"and the person referred to indirectly by the
titleâ€"objected to her depiction in the story. The publication of the
novel in book form was blocked by court order, and some libraries
restricted access to the magazine version. After a prolonged legal
fight and widespread debate over the rights of authors, readers, and
publishers versus individuals' rights to privacy, a revised version of
the novel was published in 2002.
