Before The Dawn by Tōson Shimazaki
An epic historical novel that follows a provincial community and a samurai family through the tumultuous years around the Meiji Restoration, portraying the clash between tradition and modernity as political upheaval, economic hardship, and social change dismantle old hierarchies and reshape everyday life; through intimate scenes and broader historical events it examines the costs of progress, the erosion of samurai honor, and the human consequences of rapid modernization.
