About This Novel
"Kitchen Peace" was written by Junichiro Tanizaki in his later years (76 years old). Based on his own experience, he recalled the stories of several maids who worked in Chikura Raiyoshi's home (mainly in Kyoto and Atami) from Showa 10 to Showa 33. During the Showa era, a simple and lovely young girl from the countryside came to work as a maid in a wealthy family in a big city, and gradually matured. The works vividly depict women with different personalities, ranging from innocence to tenacity to sophistication. Different from the style of Tanizaki Junichiro's representative works, the work is based on the writer's real life, a mixture of fiction and reality, relaxed and interesting, and also full of the author's long-standing exploration of women and praise of female beauty.
