"Though little enough is translated . . . it is apparent to the Western reader that here is one of the finest of modern Japanese novelists. These new translations consolidate this already deserved reputation."—Donald Richie, <i>The Japan Times</i>

"Kafu's dispassionate, vivid pictures of life in Tokyo's decaying pleasure quarters."—<i>World Literature Today</i>

A Stanford University Press classic.
Nagai Kafu was one of the most important Japanese writers of fiction during the first half of the 20th century. These two works, which appear in English for the first time, are superb examples of the author's evocative descriptions of the moods and fancies of Tokyo.
