Scarlet Letter
↑This is a translation of the expression Japanese letter, 淫の 字, meaning literally "letter of unchastity". Since the usage of this expression approximates in many ways the old "Scarlet Letter", I used that as the translation, though in fact there is no indication in the text that the letter would be scarlet. In fact, it would be tattooed on her forehead. Whether this was once done literally, I cannot say.
