[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1647555, member: 408573"] I have finished 'An Artist of the Floating World'. I'm finding it difficult to describe. It tells of our hero's reflections on his past and gently tells of his personal search (?) for understanding, perhaps enlightenment in his old age. The descriptions, though, not overly emphasised as with some authors, are at times beautiful and horrible but it is the machinations of the mind and the attitudes that the protagonist and those around him especially of the younger generation go through in what was and led to a terrible time in our history. Informative, too. I had no idea that the Americans occupied Japan after the war or that an attempt was made to democratise the culture. I did thoroughly enjoy this book and surprisingly, as soon as a description of the floating world was alluded toI understood completely. Thank you for the recommendation. [/QUOTE]
