«An Artist of the Floating World» is the historical novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, published by Faber and Faber in paperback (208 pages, in English).
In 1948, retired painter Masuji Ono should be enjoying a quiet old age in a Japan rebuilding after the war, but his memories drag him back to a career marked by the rise of Japanese militarism. A shadow begins to cloud his serenity in this novel about memory, guilt, and the artist's responsibility before history.
Originally published in 1986, it won the Whitbread Book of the Year and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize.
