Thought on Jun'ichirō Tanizaki ? Is this book worth the read ?

It's by far my favorite from him, and a very well-loved modern novel in Japan.

His fetishes are a lot more subdued in it. You won't have outright footplay and femdom described, but there are slight hints in the background of all of it. The understatement makes it a lot more enticing imo.

Wow, ok... I thought it would be this very polite, Ozu like, generational thing.

Sound of the Mountain by Kawabata is likely more what you're looking for.

Tanizaki is by far my favourite Japanese author. Some Prefer Nettles is absolutely stunning.

The film is top comfy-tier. Is the book the same?

I'm searching for a Japanese novel which romanticizes Japan (preferably it being a well written novel as well) just like The Great Gatsby romanticizes America.
