Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is a translation of a contemporary Japanese novel set in Meiji-era Japan, written by Matsutaro Kawaguchi (1899-1985), one of Japan's most enduringly popular writers and filmmakers. Mistress Oriku instructs young people in the arts of love, and helps solve the romantic dilemmas of some of Tokyo's most famous citizens. Her independent thinking and love of Tokyo's traditions offer a unique perspective on the surprising complexity and contradictions of the Japanese culture of the era.
