This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

The first novel in Mishima's masterful Sea of Fertility tetraology

Tokyo, 1912. The closed world of the ancient aristocracy is being breached for the first time by outsiders - rich provincial families, a new and powerful elite.

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 is engaged to a royal prince that Kiyoaki realises the magnitude of his passion.

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

' Mishima's best work, unnerving as it may be, still casts a spell; and I suspect it will retain its dark radiance' Guardian
