The decision was given by the District Court of Tokyo in 1964. "After the Banquet" is the title of a novel which was written in 1960 by Yukio Mishima, one of the most famous novelists in Japan. He and Shinchosha, the publisher of this novel, were defendants. On the other hand, the plaintiff was the model of the hero in the novel and was a candidate in the election for Governor of Tokyo in 1959.  The case was decided in favor of the plaintiff. It then became a leading case in Japanese privacy suits, the dicision being quoted in a recent privacy case in 1995, for example. It defined the right of privacy and enumerated the conditions required to legally redress the damage caused by a violation of privacy. The definition and conditions have been quoted in many books or articles since then.  But the definition and the required conditions contain some ambiguous elements and the decision makes some important errors, which are due to misunderstandings about privacy. In this thesis, these errors are pointed out and an analysis is made about the reason why such errors happened, on the basis of some judicial precedents in the United States of America.}, pages = {105--123}, title = {小説『宴のあと』とプライバシー}, volume = {18}, year = {} }
