Oniroku Dan, the writer known as THE Japanese SM writer for the last 40 years & the author of infamous Flower and Snake, seems to have been seriously sick. I got to know this through the mixi community under his name and I thought I would share this with you all.
He's been suffering from kidnely problem and resisting to be on the kidney machine. Having read many of messages about him, it seems like his family is welcoming encouraging messages for him through his wife's mixi page. Oniroku's son has contacted the person who is running his mixi community and then Oniroku's wife has started out her page. Here is her diary page where you can leave a message: http://mixi.jp/view_diary.pl?id=193805222&owner_id=5871318
