This powerful novel of a country in social and moral crisis was first published by New Directions in 1956. The Setting Sun, set in the early post-war years, explores the devastating consequences of the war and the transition from a feudal Japan to an industrial society. The influence of Osamu Dazai's novel has made the “people of the setting sun” a permanent part of the Japanese language, and its heroine, Kazuko, a young aristocrat who chooses to abandon her class, is a symbol of the lawlessness that permeates much of the modern world.
