Tama is a novel written by Onoto Watanna and first published in 1910. Set in Japan, the story follows the life of Tama, a young girl who is orphaned at a young age and taken in by her wealthy aunt and uncle. Tama is raised alongside her cousin, Yuri, and the two girls become close friends.As Tama grows older, she becomes increasingly aware of the differences between herself and Yuri. While Yuri is expected to marry well and conform to traditional Japanese gender roles, Tama is more interested in pursuing her own passions and dreams. She becomes particularly interested in Western culture and begins to study English and wear Western-style clothing.Tama's unconventional behavior causes tension with her family and community, but she remains determined to live life on her own terms. Along the way, she falls in love with a young man named Kenji, who shares her interest in Western culture and supports her in her pursuits.Throughout the novel, Tama grapples with questions of identity, tradition, and modernity. She must navigate the expectations of her family and society while also staying true to herself and her own desires. Ultimately, Tama's story is one of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
