About This Item
Faber & Faber, 1986. Paperback. New. It is 1948. Japan is rebuilding her cities after the calamity of World War II, her people putting defeat behind them and looking to the future. The ce lebrated painter Masuji Ono fills his days attending to his garden, his hou se repairs, his two grown daughters and his grandson, and his evenings drin king with old associates in quiet lantern-lit bars. His should be a tranqui l retirement. But as his memories continually return to the past - to a lif e and a career deeply touched by the rise of Japanese militarism - a dark s hadow begins to grow over his serenity.
Synopsis
An Artist of the Floating World (1986) is a novel by British-Japanese author Kazuo Ishiguro. It is set in post-World War II Japan and is narrated by Masuji Ono, an aging painter, who looks back on his life and how he has lived it. He notices how his once great reputation has faltered since the war and how attitudes towards him and his paintings have changed. The chief conflict deals with Ono's need to accept responsibility for his past actions.
