Editorial Reviews

Life of Oharu (1952): A fifty-year-old prostitute, no longer able to attract men, looks back on her sad life. Once a lady-in-waiting at the imperial court at Kyoto, Oharu fell in love with, and became the lover of, a man below her station. They were discovered, and Oharu and her family were exiled. For Oharu there followed a life filled with one sorrow and humiliation after another. Lady of Musashino (1951): A woman trapped between her stoic/moral beliefs, and the changing times brought about by the end of WW2. Fascinating look at how upper middle class in Japan react to war and its aftermath
