Ariyoshi Sawako : a woman and her time
Ariyoshi Sawako (1931-1984) is one of the most popular contemporary novelists in Japan. Through the twenty novels she wrote, she showed deep concern for the evolution of the Japanese society, first following the Meiji restoration and then during the post-war years. Standing from the female characters' point of view, she gave a sharp description of the transformation of the Japanese way of life and way of thinking over the past century.
