About the book

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.

'An austere love story, probably my favourite of his novels' David Mitchell

    In the first book of his The Sea of Fertility Tetralogy, Mishima chronicles the doomed love affair of Satoko and Kiyoaki, two young aristocrats in early 20th century Japan. In his unique style, Mishima explores the cultural tensions between Japan and the West, the interplay of love and death, Buddhist philosophy and more. Looking forward to reading Runaway Horses and the rest of the series soon.
