| Summary | "羹" by Jun'ichiro Tanizaki is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the lives of young characters, particularly focusing on the central figure,宗一 (Soichi), and his romantic entanglement with美代子 (Miyoko). The narrative explores themes of love, social expectations, and the personal struggles faced by the characters as they navigate their relationships and societal norms. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to宗一 (Soichi) taking a train journey from沼津 (Numazu) to東京 (Tokyo), filled with emotions and anticipation as he awaits the arrival of美代子 (Miyoko). The scene vividly captures the train's atmosphere, the interactions of various characters, and Soichi's inner thoughts about his past illness and his feelings for Miyoko. As he imagines their reunion and reflects on their budding romance, his excitement is palpable, despite the social complexities and family dynamics that exist between them. The opening sets the stage for a rich exploration of love, identity, and societal implications as the relationship develops amidst their personal histories.
