Description
[Machine Translation] Twenty years after the war, Japanese society has become economically and materially affluent. Set in Yamanote, Tokyo, this is a tragicomedy of three couples of different generations living in a single house: the father and mother, the eldest son and his wife, and the second son and his wife. This is a powerful long novel that depicts the slow and quiet disintegration of a family that is "as cramped and suffocating as a boxed garden, yet only in form," and its bleak emotional landscape, triggered by an affair between the protagonist Manabu Kimata, the eldest son, and Yuriko, the wife of his younger brother Osamu.
