Description
[Machine Translation] Junichiro Tanizaki (1886-1965), who continued to depict a world of rich beauty backed by the memory of Japanese classics such as "Shunkinsho" and "Hosoyuki," was described as a "thoughtless" writer at the time. While modern Japanese literature revolves around the question of how young men should live their lives, Tanizaki was concerned exclusively with the beauty of women from beginning to end. Tanizaki, however, occupies an extremely important position in the history of Japanese thought. His works, influenced by "The Tale of Genji," are infused with the philosophy of sensitivity of Hon'yi Nobunaga's "Mono no Aware," and the ethics of Watsuji Tetsuro, a close friend of Tanizaki from his days at Ichiko High School and Imperial University, are aligned with his works, but at a certain point, they diverge decisively. Furthermore, the motherhood worship that is prominent in Tanizaki's works shares the same source with the yearning for "one's mother's country" as described by Orikuchi Nobuo. Tanizaki's "thought" is a philosophy of eros that places the highest value on the sole of a woman's foot rather than her individuality or morality. This book brings Tanizaki's "philosophy" into relief, using Nobunaga, Watsuji, and Orikuchi as supporting lines.
