Homecoming

Drama Homecoming depicts postwar corruption as seen through the eyes of a naval officer who has been in exile in Malaya since the Thirties. At first reluctant to return to Japan after the war, he does so only on the insistence of his daughter and his lover. But he is unable to adjust, and in the end leaves again. A complex drama, Homecoming was based on a novel by Jiro Osaragi, and was considered a landmark in the postwar junbungaku movement.
