Indicted by society for its defeat and reviled for his past aesthetics, he relives the passage through his personal history that makes him both a hero and a coward but, above all, a human being. Now, as the mature Ono struggles through the aftermath of that war, his memories of his youth and of the “floating world”-the nocturnal world of pleasure, entertainment, and drink-offer him both escape and redemption, even as they punish him for betraying his early promise. He notices how his once-great reputation has faltered since the war and how attitudes towards him and his paintings have. It is set in post-World War II Japan and is narrated by Masuji Ono, an ageing painter, who looks back on his life and how he has lived it. Instead, he put his work in the service of the imperialist movement that led Japan into World War II. An Artist of the Floating World (1986) is a novel by British author Kazuo Ishiguro.
