Sachiko, the second sister, is the novel's main [[SympatheticPOV viewpoint character]]. Loosely based on Tanizaki's wife, she is outwardly brisk and businesslike but in fact very introspective and conservative. Sachiko spends most of her time trying to find a husband for the third sister, Yukiko, who is [[ChristmasCake thirty years old at the beginning of the novel]] and [[HiddenDepths subtly being deliberately as unhelpful as humanly possible to register her displeasure with the situation and desire to stay with her sisters and niece rather than be forced to move away with an unfamiliar man]]. The youngest sister, Taeko, is something of a problem child and her amoral and acquisitive behavior makes it harder to get Yukiko a match.
