Ichikawa's brilliant 1983 version of Junichiro Tanizaki's novel tells of the four daughters of an Osaka tycoon. Beginning in 1938 Kyoto, the film
chronicles the women's relationships with each other, with men, and with changing social mores. An enthralling weave of appealing characters, epic
family struggle, and subtle social satire, The Makioka Sisters eloquently describes the collision of traditional and modern Japan.
