    “Taming the Laser Leopard” is a standalone novelette in my Yang-Yoshiko Universe, a prequel to “Tiger Blues” that tells the story of a young Olive Yang's wedding. A trio of uncouth pirates stumble into the wedding reception of Brumese princess and genderqueer gunslinger Olive Yang, future opium kingpin who will transform the opiumtrafficking industry in Burma's Golden Triangle. Also, Olive has no interest in men, and not only did they sneak their girlfriend into the party, but they're also trying to flirt up the busty young secretary from Rangoon while getting raucously drunk. Other guests at the wedding include a nosey CIA agent and his KMT counterpart, the two of whom are in the early stages of Operation Midnight Climax and Project MK Ultra; a one-eyed bandit trying to use his x-ray vision tovisually undress the bridesmaids; an avante-garde poet who's written a scandalous poet about the bride; and a Burmese admiral who still holds a grudge for the scam he fell pray to at the hands of our pirate heroine.

  • 43. The Beauty in Men's Clothing by Muramatsu Shofu (1932) | Kawashima Yoshiko fictionalization
    Jun 19 2025

    The Kickstarter for TIGER BLUES is live now

    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/harujinshounds/tiger-blues-a-queer-alt-history-steampunk-novel?ref=discovery&term=tiger%20blues&total_hits=20&category_id=47


    The Beauty in Men's Clothing was first serialized in 1932, then published in novel form in 1933. Authored by Muramatsu Shofu, and inspired by Japanese military officer Tanaka Ryukichi, it is a fictionalization of crossdressing, bisexual Manchu “princess” Kawashima Yoshiko, who worked as a spy for the Japanese. The novel, though it follows a fictionalMariko, was eventually used as evidence of Yoshiko's treason in their trial. Out of copyright in Japan, this podcast is a reading of Chapter 1, as translated by Google Translate.
