About this book
Dawn over Tokyo brings old Kano Indara into his garden, where an opening morning glory moves him to tears. The painter comes from a long family line of artists and defends Japanese painting traditions against the foreign methods entering the city's museums and academies. Sidney McCall's novel places his devotion to art within a household shared with his daughter Umè-ko and their servant Mata.
Wedding preparations bring another kind of intensity into that household. Umè-ko exchanges passionate verses with Tatsu while Mata gathers fabrics, arranges furnishings and worries about the match. Descriptions of silk robes, paper screens, gardens and painting brushes give the story its particular texture.
