Synopsis
Declining Makioka sisters struggle with tradition and modernity as their elite family fades into irrelevance.
Tsuruko, the eldest sister of the once-wealthy Makioka family, clings obstinately to the prestige of her family name even as her husband prepares to move their household to Tokyo, where that name means nothing. Sachiko compromises valiantly to secure the future of her younger sisters. The shy, unmarried Yukiko is a hostage to her family's exacting standards, while the spirited Taeko rebels by flinging herself into scandalous romantic alliances and dreaming of studying fashion design in France. Filled with vignettes of a vanishing way of life, Sasameyuki is a poignant yet unsparing portrait of a family—and an entire society—sliding into the abyss of modernity.
