Golden Death
Overview
"Golden Death" is a collection of early representative short stories by Junichiro Tanizaki. Consisting of two novels, "Killing Ayan" and "Golden Death", "Killing Ayan" tells the story of a man and a woman who elope with a new assistant and Ayan. Yan empathizes with another, and the new assistant kills her. "Golden Death" tells the story of Okamura, a friend of "my" boyhood, who pursued the beauty of human body, created art with living people in Hakone many years later, covered his whole body with gold leaf, and died suddenly at the moment of reaching the peak of joy. These two works of Junichiro Tanizaki were astonishing, and they tried their best to describe the beauty of the senses. This is the origin of his early title of "Devil School", which attracted the attention of the literary world at that time. Yukio Mishima once said that he was greatly shocked after reading it.
