"'Bonchi' introduces for the first time in English the popular contemporary Japanese writer Toyoko Yamasaki. Set in the merchant district of Osaka in the early 1900s, her novel captures the ambience of Japan at a time when the values and traditions are being eroded by the onrush of modernization and finally by the confusion of a disatrous war." (Dustjacket). The novel was filmed in 1960, and adapted for television twice. Item #106280
