 The publicity surrounding the trial brought the "pink film" genre to the attention of the general public, and helped inspire the wave of "pink films" which dominated Japan's domestic cinema for the next two decades.During the legal battles of the trial, Takechi filmed a "pink film" re-telling of "The Tale of Genji", which, like Tanizaki's work, contains eroticism in the original, though not of a sexually-explicit nature.On 17 September 1967, Takechi won the "Black Snow" case.
