About This Novel

"The Painter of the Floating World" won the "Whitbread Literary Award". It is an early masterpiece by Ishiguro Kazuo and the most Japanese-style work. It describes the devastation of Japan after the war, and the painter Ono's later life, which seems to be idle and idle, has a hidden spiritual undercurrent. In order to create a good social relationship for his little daughter when she gets married, he regained his memory. The past events of his old friends were connected one by one like an ukiyo-e, showing a battlefield without smoke. The bilingual version of "The Painter of the Floating World" includes for the first time a preface specially written by Kazuo Ishiguro for the 30th anniversary of the book's publication, recalling the creative process and interpreting it in detail. Attaching the original text of the work allows readers to appreciate Ishiguro's exquisite and beautiful original English text at the same time, and enjoy a double beauty.
