These all-new translations of four landmark essays by Junichiro Tanizaki bring fresh insights to the work of one of Japan's most acclaimed writers. The translations by Michael P. Cronin bring together Tanizaki's famous meditation on Japanese aesthetics with three other fascinating cultural commentaries that appear here in English for the first time:
- "In Praise of Shadows" Tanizaki's best-known workan ode to the subtle, refined aesthetic of Japan and the dangers posed to it by rapid modernization
- "At Okamoto" A reflection on Tanizaki's nostalgia for old Tokyo and his humorous attempts at writing poetry
- "Hanshin Observations" An early essay revealing Tanizaki's initial disdain for the Osaka region, where he moved following the 1923 earthquake that destroyed Tokyo
- "Osaka and Osakans as I See Them" An account of Tanizaki's nuanced love for Japan's second city, his adopted home and the setting for his masterpiece, The Makioka Sisters
