Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

This eloquent work on the Japanese sense of beauty explores the subtle interplay of shade and light in several important aspects of Japanese life -- architecture, drama, food, femininity and literature -- and traces the retreat of this mature, shadowy aesthetic tradition before the brighter, more garnish products of Western technology. Junichiro Tanizaki, one of the most eloquent Japanese novelists, leads readers through 'darkness seen by candlelight' replete with a 'pregnancy of particles like fine, ashes, each particle as luminous as a rainbow'. His flowing, wandering meditation cannot fail to delight all lovers of the traditions of the East. Originally published in 1993 and 1394, In Praise of Shadows presents readers with Tanizaki's obvious love for the traditions for which his country is renowned and provide a prescient warning of the dangers those traditions face.

The Secret History of the Lord of Musashi and Arrowroot

Two Novels

By: Junichiro Tanizaki

From a Japanese master of romantic and sexual obsession come two novels that treat traditional themes with sly wit and startling psychological sophistication. In The Secret History of the Lord of Musashi, Junichir Tanizaki reimagines the exploits of a legendary samurai as a sadomasochistic dance between the hero and the wife of his enemy. Arrowroot, though set in the twentieth century, views an adult orphan’s search for his mother’s past through the translucent shoji screen of ancient literature and myth. Both works are replete with shocking juxtapositions. Severed heads become objects of erotic fixation. Foxes take on human shape. An aristocratic lady loves and pities the man she is conspiring to destroy. This supple translation reveals the full scope of Tanizaki’s gift: his confident storytelling, luminous detail, and astonishingly vital female characters.

Seven Japanese Tales

By: Junichiro Tanizaki

Junichiro Tanizaki’s Seven Japanese Tales collects stories that explore the boundary at which love becomes self-annihilation, where the contemplation of beauty gives way to fetishism, and where tradition becomes an instrument of voluptuous cruelty. A beautiful blind musician exacts the ultimate sacrifice from the man who is both her disciple and her lover. A tattooist turns the body of an exquisite young girl into a reflection of her predatory inner nature. A young man is erotically imprisoned by memories of his absent mother. Shocking in its content and lyrical in its beauty, these stories represent some of the finest work of one of Japan’s greatest modern writers.

Quicksand

By: Junichiro Tanizaki

Quicksand is a silkily nuanced novel of erotic gamesmanship and obsession. Sonoko Kakiuchi, an Osaka lady of a good family, married to a dully respected lawyer, tells a story of temptation and betrayal. Sonoko is infatuated with the beautiful art student and femme fatale Mitsuko, a woman so seductive and heartless she can even turn Sonoko's husband into her own accomplice. Filled with intrigue and treacherous romance, readers will be entranced by Tanizaki’s seminal novel. At once savagely funny and timorously exact in its portrayal of sexual enthrallment, Quicksand is “beautifully and mysteriously contrived.”—Newsday
