The House Of Nire by Morio Kita

A darkly comic family saga follows an ambitious patriarch who founds a private psychiatric clinic and propels his wife and children through his perfectionism, delusions, and hunger for status, charting the clan’s rise and decline from the Taishō era through the postwar years. Blending satire with pathos, it explores the blurry boundary between sanity and eccentricity, the compromises of professional ambition, and the strains of modernization and war, as successive generations grapple with identity, love, and survival in a rapidly changing Japan.
