Miad Story

This book is Junichiro Tanizaki's later years (76 years old) works. Based on his own experience, he recalled the stories of several maids who worked in Chikuragi's home (mainly in Kyoto and Rehai) from tenth year of Zhaohe to 1958. In the Zhaohe era, a simple and lovely young girl from the countryside came to a rich family in a big city to work as a maid, and gradually matured. His works vividly depict women with different personalities, such as naive, tough or worldly. Different from Junichiro Tanizaki's representative style, the work is based on the writer's real life, mixed with the imagination, relaxing and interesting. At the same time, this book is full of the writer's pursue of women and praise for the beauty of women.
