In July 2014, the front page of the Mainichi Shinbun featured a small picture of a young man in glasses with the headline, "Today's Faces." A blurb below the photo declared, "The real name of the early Showa author Hōjō Tamio, who had Hansen's Disease and lived a life under quarantine, will be made public in a booklet to be published next month." The article then revealed that Hōjō Tamio, the author of the novella "Life's First Night," was born Shichijō Kōji and raised in Anan-shi, on the island of Shikoku in Tokushima prefecture
