The Makioka Sisters by Junichiro Tanizaki

The Makioka Sisters by Junichiro Tanizaki

The novel follows four sisters from a once-prominent Osaka merchant family as they navigate the search for a suitable husband for the reserved third sister, Yukiko, while their family's fading social status and Japan's own approach to the Second World War press against their carefully maintained traditions.

Tanizaki writes with meticulous attention to the rituals of prewar upper-class Japanese life — matchmaking, seasonal festivals, family obligation — creating an elegiac portrait of a genteel world about to be swept away, and the sisters' differing responses to modernity give the slow-moving narrative real emotional texture.

Widely considered one of the great Japanese novels of the twentieth century.
