{{nihongo|'''Jun'ichirō Tanizaki'''|谷崎潤一郎|Tanizaki Jun'ichirō|extra=24 July 1886 – 30 July 1965}} was a Japanese author who is considered to be one of the most prominent figures in modern [[Japanese literature]]. The tone and subject matter of his work range from shocking depictions of sexuality and destructive erotic obsessions to subtle portrayals of the dynamics of family life within the context of the rapid changes in 20th-century Japanese society. Frequently, his stories are narrated in the context of a search for cultural identity in which [[Western world|the West]] and [[Culture of Japan|Japanese tradition]] are juxtaposed.

He was one of six authors on the final shortlist for the [[Nobel Prize in Literature]] in 1964, the year before his death.<ref>[https://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/archive/show_people.php?id=12374 Nomination Database]</ref><ref>[http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2015/01/03/national/four-japanese-were-nominees-for-64-nobel-literature-prize-documents/#.WFo_ath97Ho Four Japanese were nominees for ’64 Nobel literature prize: documents - Japan Times]</ref>

==Biography==
[[Image:Jun'ichirō Tanizaki & Inazō Nitobe 1908.jpg|thumb|left|Tanizaki (left) as a student at the [[First Higher School]], and its Head Master [[Nitobe Inazō]] (right), in 1908.]]

===Early life===
Tanizaki was born into a well-to-do merchant-class family in [[Nihonbashi]], [[Tokyo]], where his uncle owned a [[printing press]], which had been established by his grandfather. His parents were Kuragorō and Seki Tanizaki. His older brother, Kumakichi, died three days after his birth, which made him the next eldest son of the family. Tanizaki had three younger brothers: Tokuzō, Seiji (also a writer) and Shūhei, as well three younger sisters: Sono, Ise and Sue. Tanizaki described his admittedly pampered childhood in his ''Yōshō Jidai'' [[Childhood Years: A Memoir|(''Childhood Years'', 1956)]]. His childhood home was destroyed in the [[1894 Meiji Tokyo earthquake]], to which Tanizaki later attributed his lifelong fear of earthquakes. His family's finances declined dramatically as he grew older until he was forced to reside in another household as a tutor.

Despite these financial problems, he attended the [[Hibiya High School|Tokyo First Middle School]], where he became acquainted with [[Isamu Yoshii]]. Tanizaki attended the Literature Department of [[Tokyo Imperial University]] from 1908, but was forced to drop out in 1911 because of his inability to pay for tuition.

==Early literary career==
[[Image:Junichiro Tanizaki 1913.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Tanizaki in 1913, shortly after his literary debut.]]

Tanizaki began his literary career in 1909. His first work, a one-act stage play, was published in a [[literary magazine]] that he had helped found. Tanizaki's name first became widely known with the publication of the [[short story]] ''Shisei'' (''The Tattooer'', 1910). In the story, a [[tattoo artist]] inscribes a giant spider on the body of a beautiful young woman. Afterwards, the woman's beauty takes on a demonic, compelling power, in which [[eroticism]] is combined with [[sado-masochism]]. The [[femme-fatale]] is a theme repeated in many of Tanizaki's early works, including ''Kirin'' (1910), ''Shonen'' (''The Children'', 1911), ''Himitsu'' (''The Secret'', 1911), and ''Akuma'' (''Devil'', 1912). Tanizaki's other works published in the [[Taishō period]] include ''Shindo'' (1916) and ''Oni no men'' (1916), which are partly autobiographical.

[[File:Jun'ichirō and Ayuko Tanizaki.jpg|thumb|left|Tanizaki with his daughter Ayuko, 1938.]]
Tanizaki married his first wife, Chiyo Ishikawa, in 1915, and his only child, Ayuko, was born in 1916. However, it was an unhappy marriage, and in time he encouraged a relationship between Chiyo and his friend and fellow writer [[Haruo Satō (novelist)|Haruo Satō]]. The psychological stress of this situation is reflected in some of his early works, including the stage play ''Aisureba koso'' (''Because I Love Her'', 1921) and the novel ''Kami to hito no aida'' (''Between Men and the Gods'', 1924). Even though some of Tanizaki's writings seem to have been inspired by these and other persons and events in his life, his works are far less autobiographical than those of most of his contemporaries in Japan. Tanizaki later adopted Emiko, the daughter of his third wife, Matsuko Morita.

In 1918, Tanizaki toured [[Korea under Japanese rule|Chōsen]], northern China, and [[Manchuria]]. In his early years he became infatuated with the West and all things modern. In 1922, he relocated from [[Odawara, Kanagawa|Odawara]], where he had been living since 1919, to [[Yokohama]], which had a large expatriate population, living briefly in a Western-style house and leading a [[Bohemianism|bohemian]] lifestyle. This outlook is reflected in some of his early writings.

Tanizaki had a brief career in [[silent cinema]], working as a script writer for the [[Taikatsu]] film studio. He was a supporter of the [[Pure Film Movement]] and was instrumental in bringing modernist themes to Japanese film.<ref>See Bernardi.</ref> He wrote the scripts for the films ''Amateur Club'' (1922) and ''A Serpent's Lust'' (1923) (based on the story of the same title by [[Ueda Akinari]], which was, in part, the inspiration for [[Mizoguchi Kenji]]'s 1953 masterpiece ''[[Ugetsu|Ugetsu monogatari]]''). Some have argued that Tanizaki's relation to cinema is important to understanding his overall career.<ref>See Lamarre.</ref>

==Period in Kyoto==
[[Image:Ishouan01s2048.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Tanizaki's old residence ''"Ishōan"'' in [[Kobe, Hyōgo|Kobe]], where he wrote the earlier part of ''Sasameyuki'' in 1943.]]
Tanizaki's reputation began to take off in 1923, when he moved to [[Kyoto]] after the [[1923 Great Kantō earthquake|Great Kanto earthquake]], which destroyed his house in [[Yokohama]] (at the time Tanizaki was on a bus in [[Hakone, Kanagawa|Hakone]] and thus escaped injury). The loss of Tokyo's historic buildings and neighborhoods in the quake triggered a change in his enthusiasms, as he redirected his youthful love for the imagined West and modernity into a renewed interest in Japanese aesthetics and culture, particularly the culture of the [[Kansai]] region (around the cities of [[Osaka]], [[Kobe]] and [[Kyoto]]). His first novel after the earthquake, and his first truly successful novel, was ''Chijin no ai'' (''[[Naomi (novel)|Naomi]]'', 1924-25), which is a tragicomic exploration of class, sexual obsession, and cultural identity. Tanizaki made another trip to China in 1926, where he met [[Guo Moruo]], with whom he later maintained correspondence. He relocated from Kyoto to Kobe in 1928.

Inspired by the [[Kansai dialect|Osaka dialect]], Tanizaki wrote ''Manji'' (''[[Quicksand (Tanizaki novel)|Quicksand]]'', 1928–1929), in which he explored lesbianism, among other themes. This was followed by the classic ''Tade kuu mushi'' (''[[Some Prefer Nettles]]'', 1928–29), which depicts the gradual self-discovery of a Tokyo man living near Osaka, in relation to Western-influenced modernization and Japanese tradition. ''Yoshino kuzu'' (''[[Arrowroot (novel)|Arrowroot]]'', 1931) alludes to Bunraku and kabuki theater and other traditional forms even as it adapts a European narrative-within-a-narrative technique. His experimentation with narrative styles continued with ''Ashikari'' (''The Reed Cutter'', 1932), ''Shunkinshō'' (''A Portrait of Shunkin'', 1933), and many other works that combine traditional aesthetics with Tanizaki's particular obsessions.

His renewed interest in classical Japanese literature culminated in his multiple translations into modern Japanese of the eleventh-century classic ''[[The Tale of Genji]]'' and in his masterpiece ''Sasameyuki'' (literally "A Light Snowfall," but published in English translation as ''[[The Makioka Sisters (novel)|The Makioka Sisters]]'', 1943–1948), a detailed characterization of four daughters of a wealthy Osaka merchant family who see their way of life slipping away in the early years of [[World War II]]. The sisters live a cosmopolitan life with European neighbors and friends, without suffering the cultural-identity crises common to earlier Tanizaki characters. When he began to serialize the novel, the editors of the literary magazine ''[[Chūō Kōron]]'' were warned that it did not contribute to the needed war spirit and, fearful of losing supplies of paper, cut off the serialization.<ref>Jansen, Marius B. (2000). ''The Making of Modern Japan,'' p. 643.</ref>

Tanizaki relocated to the resort town of [[Atami, Shizuoka]] in 1942, but returned to Kyoto in 1946.

[[Image:Junichiro Tanizaki's handwriting 1963.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Tanizaki's handwritten ''[[Waka (poetry)#Tanka|tanka]]''　poem of 1963. ''"This heart of mine is only one, it cannot be known by anybody but myself."'']]

==Post-war period==
[[File:Tanizaki Jun'ichiro.jpg|thumb|left|Tanizaki in 1948.]]
After [[World War II]], Tanizaki again emerged into literary prominence, winning a host of awards. Until his death, he was widely regarded as Japan's greatest contemporary author. He won the prestigious [[Asahi Prize]] in 1948, was awarded the [[Order of Culture]] by the Japanese government in 1949, and in 1964 was elected to honorary membership in the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, the first Japanese writer to be so honoured.

His first major post-war work was ''Shōshō Shigemoto no haha'' (''Captain Shigemoto's Mother'', 1949–1950), which includes a restatement of Tanizaki's frequent theme of a son's longing for his mother. The novel also introduces a new theme, of sexuality in old age, which reappears in later works such as ''Kagi'' (''[[The Key (Tanizaki novel)|The Key]]'', 1956). ''Kagi'' is a [[psychological fiction|psychological novel]] in which an aging professor arranges for his wife to commit adultery in order to boost his own sagging sexual desires.

Tanizaki returned to Atami in 1950, and was designated a [[Person of Cultural Merit]] by the Japanese government in 1952. He suffered from paralysis of the right hand from 1958, and was hospitalized for [[Angina pectoris]] in 1960. Tanizaki's characters are often driven by obsessive erotic desires. In one of his last novels, ''Futen Rojin Nikki'' (''[[Diary of a Mad Old Man (novel)|Diary of a Mad Old Man]]'', 1961–1962), the aged diarist is struck down by a stroke brought on by an excess of sexual excitement. He records both his past desires and his current efforts to bribe his daughter-in-law to provide sexual titillation in return for Western baubles. In 1964, Tanizaki moved to [[Yugawara, Kanagawa]], southwest of Tokyo, where he died of a [[myocardial infarction|heart attack]] on 30 July 1965, shortly after celebrating his 79th birthday. His grave is at the temple Hōnen-in, in Kyoto.

== Legacy ==
The [[Tanizaki Prize]] is one of Japan's most sought-after literary awards. Established in 1965 by the publishing company Chūō Kōronsha, it is awarded annually to a work of fiction or drama.

Before [[Haruki Murakami]] had achieved wide renown, Tanizaki was frequently considered one of the "Big Three" postwar Japanese writers along with [[Yasunari Kawabata]] and [[Yukio Mishima]].<ref>{{Cite magazine|last=Karashima|first=David|date=2020-09-23|title=When Murakami Came to the States|url=https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2020/09/23/when-murakami-came-to-the-states/|access-date=2021-09-02|magazine=The Paris Review|language=en}}</ref>
