This is a book of a thousand plot lines. It is well grounded at the beginning but deteriorates to shallow charachter studies as it gets bogged down in the tragedy of WWII bombings and sufferings of the common people. It is an interesting peek into the life of two traditional Japanese artists and for that, it is worth the read. But it is not a 'masterpiece'
