Born in Nihonbashikakigaracho in 1886 in 1886, Tanizaki moved to Kansai after the Great East Japan Earthquake. For two or three years after moving to Kansai, every time I sometimes came to Tokyo, I felt like I came back, and initially stated my disgust of Kansai culture. However, in the meantime, when I was in Tokyo for a week, I wanted to return to Kansai, and the train came to "go over the Osaka mountain tunnel and pass around Yamazaki to breathe." ("Omofu Tokyo's Omofu")
Saiden Stecker stated in "Rising Tokyo" (original book 1990):
"Tanizaki at this time didn't like anything related to Tokyo, at least tried to admit that he liked it," 54.
"For a while after the earthquake, it may be said that Osaka was the largest city in Japan. Among the artists and intellectuals, there were a considerable number of people who moved to Kansai. Most returned to Tokyo as Tokyo restored its urban functions, but Tanizaki was an exception. "I never lived in Osaka itself, but I spent most of my life in the suburbs of Osaka," (59).
