It is set in post- World War II Japan and is narrated by Masuji Ono, an ageing painter, who looks back on his life and how he has lived it. In the face of the misery in his homeland, the artist Masuji Ono was unwilling to devote his art solely to the celebration of physical beauty. Instead, he put his work in the service of the imperialist movement that led Japan into World War II.
"An Artist of the Floating World" seems as if it was written by an older man, someone close to Ishiguro's age and "The Buried Giant" by a much younger writer. Both books are somewhat melancholy in style and tone, not what I'd call "uplifting" or optimistic and both are beautifully executed in Ishiguro's own inimitable style. An Artist of the Floating World employs the clear, dispassionate descriptions of middle-class life that characterize realist texts, but depicts a world in which any idea of truth is undermined by the shifting nature of memory and popular understandings of history.
