Abstract:

This work focuses on the figure of modern woman in the novel A Fool’s Love (Chijin no ai) written by Japanese author Tanizaki Jun’ichiro. In the first part of this work, we will describe author’s life and events that influenced his work. In the next part, we will comment on social background of that period in Japan and we will explain terms moga and new woman. In the third part we will focus on the character of Naomi and her typical physical and mental features, which make her a prototype of modern woman. In the last part, we will deal with other women characters in Tanizaki’s work, which could be similar to Naomi’s character.
