This book is the first Western romance to be set in Japan and ushered in the vogue for all things Japanese. It also inspired Puccini's opera Madame Butterfly. The novel is autobiographical and tells the story of a French lieutenant and his geisha in the 1880s in Japan, when it was becoming westernised. It is a compelling portrait of a vanished age and the bittersweet meeting of East and West.

Unexpectedly and without warning, Michael Harrison is framed for the murder of a Tokyo geisha, Akiko Takeuchi, with whom he had been involved. Harrison is an executive of an American hi-tech company partly owned by a Japanese electronics giant. He knows Akiko committed harakiri for reasons of the heart, but the evidence has been skillfully altered to make it look like murder. He quickly becomes the object of a nationwide manhunt with attention at the highest levels of their government. The American Embassyas hands are tied because he is charged with the murder of a Japanese national on Japanese soil. The chase takes him from Tokyo to Kyoto to Kobe in a desperate search for the evidence that will clear himaa document, the contents of which he is not certain, but strongly suspects that if revealed would be a major if not fatal blow to Japanas ambitions in the Pacific Rim. He manages to evade capture even though the body count escalates, all considered murders as in the case of Akiko. Chrysanthemum is an intriguing mystery in which the author takes us from the cerebral world of Silicon Valley to the emerging military-political ambitions of a new Japan. This carefully structured, scrupulously detailed novel has enough action and danger to satisfy any reader.

Plucking Chrysanthemums is a critical study of the life and works of Narushima Ryūhoku (1837–1884): Confucian scholar, world traveler, pioneering journalist, and irrepressible satirist. A major figure on the nineteenth-century Japanese cultural scene, Ryūhoku wrote works that were deeply rooted in classical Sinitic literary traditions. Sinitic poetry and prose enjoyed a central and prestigious place in Japan for nearly all of its history, and the act of composing it continued to offer modern Japanese literary figures the chance to incorporate themselves into a written tradition that transcended national borders. Adopting Ryūhoku’s multifarious invocations of Six Dynasties poet Tao Yuanming as an organizing motif, Matthew Fraleigh traces the disparate ways in which Ryūhoku drew upon the Sinitic textual heritage over the course of his career. The classical figure of this famed Chinese poet and the Sinitic tradition as a whole constituted a referential repository to be shaped, shifted, and variously spun to meet the emerging circumstances of the writer as well as his expressive aims. Plucking Chrysanthemums is the first book-length study of Ryūhoku in a Western language and also one of the first Western-language monographs to examine Sinitic poetry and prose (kanshibun) composition in modern Japan.

[A] thoughtful, nuanced study of the Japanese character.”—U.S. News & World Report “A classic book because of its intellectual and stylistic lucidity . . . Benedict was a writer of great humanity and generosity of spirit.”—from the foreword by Ian Buruma Essential reading for anyone interested in Japanese culture, this unsurpassed masterwork opens an intriguing window on Japan. The World War II–era study by the cultural anthropologist Ruth Benedict paints an illuminating contrast between the people of Japan and those of the United States.
