A master Japanese novelist presents a hilarious story of one man’s obsession and a brilliant reckoning of a nation’s cultural confusion. When Joji, a twenty-eight-year-old man, first sees Naomi, a teenage waitress, he is instantly captivated by her exotic and almost Western appearance. Determined to make her his perfect wife and rescue her from the dark side of post-World War I Tokyo, Joji adopts and eventually marries Naomi. He pays for her English and music lessons, hoping they will shape her into his ideal partner. However, as Naomi matures, Joji realizes she is not the innocent girl of his dreams. In Tanizaki's masterpiece of intense obsession, passion quickly turns into absurdly helpless masochism.
