I had the opportunity to read Tanizaki Junichiro’s works in succession. I had read some of his literature in the past, but reading it again revealed his deep knowledge of Japanese classics.
I re-read “Shousho shigemoto’s Mother” and “Shunkinsho.
They vividly describe how Japanese women lived, and the classical literature that is the starting point of his literature is reflected in modern literature. The state of things was shocking.
I thought that “waka” was revived in his literature in the modern age.
