The Makioka Sisters

Tanizaki's masterpiece is the story of four sisters, and the declining fortunes of a traditional Japanese family. It is a loving and nostalgic recreation of the sumptuous, intricate upper-class life of Osaka immediately before World War Two. With surgical precision, Tanizaki lays bare the sinews of pride, and brings a vanished era to vibrant life.

Capodopera lui Tanizaki este povestea a patru surori si averile in scadere a unei familii traditionale japoneze. Este o recreare iubitoare si nostalgica a vietii somptuoase si complicate de clasa superioara din Osaka, imediat inainte de al Doilea Razboi Mondial.
