Immerse yourself in traditional Osaka, where four upper-class sisters struggle to preserve their lifestyle on the eve of World War II. 'The Makioka Sisters' is a moving portrait of a Japanese family facing modernity, capturing both the social conventions and the intimate anguish of its protagonists. Junichiro Tanizaki recreates a sumptuous world with nostalgia for a time that is fading away.
Jun'ichirō Tanizaki was a Japanese author who is considered to be one of the most prominent figures in modern Japanese literature. The tone and subject matter of his work range from shocking depictions of sexuality and destructive erotic obsessions to subtle portrayals of the dynamics of family life within the context of the rapid changes in 20th-century Japanese society. Frequently, his stories are narrated in the context of a search for cultural identity in which the West and Japanese tradition are juxtaposed.
