- Summary:
- "Sonoko Kakiuchi is a cultured Osaka lady, unfortunately widowed young. But her story is unsettlingly at odds with her image. It is a tale of infatuation and deceit, of deliberate evil. Its theme is humiliation, its victim Sonoko's mild-mannered husband. At is centre-- seductive, manipulating, enslaving-- is one of Tanizaki's most extraordinary characters, the beautiful and corrupt art student, Mitsuko."--Publisher description.
