Description

In Osaka in the years immediately before World-War II, four aristocratic ladies attempt to protect a means of life that's disappearing. As informed by Junichiro Tanizaki, the tale of the Makioka sisters types what's perhaps the best Western book of the twentieth-century, a touching yet unsparing picture of the family–and a whole society–sliding in to the pit of modernity.Tsuruko, the oldest sibling, sticks obstinately for the status of her family name even while her partner makes to maneuver their home to Tokyo, where that name means nothing. Sachiko compromises valiantly to secure the continuing future of her younger siblings. As the lively Taeko rebels by flinging himself into scandalous intimate alliances, the single Yukiko is just a hostage to her family’s demanding requirements.
