Tokyo, 1912. The closed world of Japan’s aristocracy is breached for the first time. Kiyoaki has been raised among the elegant Ayakura family – members of the waning aristocracy – but he is not one of them. Coming of age, he is caught up in the tensions between old and new, and his feelings for the exquisite, spirited Satoko. His devoted friend Honda watches from the sidelines. It is only when Satoko becomes engaged to a royal prince that Kiyoaki realises the magnitude of his passion.

Description

A luxurious special edition of one of the greatest romances in Japanese literature.

Tokyo, 1912. Love blooms in the rule-bound world of Japan’s aristocracy.

Kiyoaki falls for the exquisite and spirited Satoko. Although he has been raised by an aristocratic family, he does not belong in this world as she does. As the world around them changes and traditional powers wane, Kiyoaki is torn between the old and the new. Only when Satoko becomes engaged to a royal prince does Kiyoaki realise the magnitude of his passion.
