Some Prefer Nettles : ウィキペディア英語版
Some Prefer Nettles


is a 1929 novel by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki. It was first published in 1928–9 as a newspaper serial. The novel is often regarded as the most autobiographical of Tanizaki's works and one of his finest novels.
The Japanese title of the novel is literally ''water pepper-eating bugs,'' and is the first half of the Japanese saying , or "Even water pepper-eating bugs have preferences (some preferring one type of water pepper, others another)", equivalent to the English "Each to his own." The translation as ''Some Prefer Nettles'' was chosen by Edward Seidensticker; he considers it one of his most noted translations, and it has been included as a translation of the original saying in the authoritative Kenkyūsha's New Japanese-English Dictionary.〔Edward Seidensticker, ''Tokyo Central: A Memoir,'' (p. 117 )〕
==Plot==
Kaname and Misako’s marriage is drifting towards a separation and divorce, and Misako has taken a lover, Aso, to Kaname's approval. Their young son, Hiroshi does not yet know anything about their plans. Both are procrastinating over this marital decision; Kaname realizes that he is fascinated by his father-in-law's bunraku theater and young mistress O-hisa. Misako's father is a traditionalist who attempts to keep the couple engaged in the arts of Japan, in order to purge the negative influence from the West.
