First Snow on Fuji Yasunari Kawabata Book Description A beautiful translation of ten short stories from Nobel Prize-winning author Yasunari Kawabata. "Kawabata lusted for purity; his characters live the contradiction." -Boston Globe The stories of Yasunari Kawabata evoke an unmistakably Japanese atmosphere in their delicacy, understatement, and lyrical description. Like his later works, First Snow on Fuji is concerned with forms of presence and absence, with being, with memory and loss of memory, with not-knowing. Kawabata lets us slide into the lives of people who have been shattered by war, loss, and longing. These stories are beautiful and melancholy, filled with Kawabata's unerring vision of human psychology. First Snow on Fuji was originally published in Japan in 1958, ten years before Kawabata received the Nobel Prize. Kawabata selected the stories for this collection himself, and the result is a stunning assembly of disparate moods and genres. This new edition is the first to be published in English.

Secondary Sources H - O Harrington, David V. "The Quality of Feeling in Kawabata's Thousand Cranes." Bucknell Review 18, 1 (Spring 1970): 81-91. Using Susanne Langer's assumptions about art, Harrington seeks to show through examining Thousand Cranes Kawabata's ability to bring a new awareness to the reader about human nature. Harrington argues that we are drawn into the main character, Kikuji, and that while the Western reader may be uncertain about aspects of modern Japanese culture, the "quality of feeling" developed by Kawabata make us aware of his significant contribution to the literary world. Hyman, Stanley Edgar. The Critic's Credentials , ed. Phoebe Pettingell. New York: Atheneum, 1978. A brief account of Kawabata's writings by a noted critic.

Secondary Sources P - Z Palmer, Thom. "The Asymmetrical Garden: Discovering Yasunari Kawabata." Southwest Review 74, 3 (Summer 1989): 390-402. Palmer indicates that as Occidental literature can be traced back to Homer, so too can Kawabata be traced back, into the traditions of Lady Murasaki's Genji. This articles strongest point is that Kawabata is best appreciated and most masterful with his palm of the hand stories, and that his long novels should not really be deemed novels. In fact, these extended narratives, perhaps in part due to magazine serialization, do not end, but merely stop. Kawabata's last work, Gleanings from Snow Country, was a distillation of his longer episodic novel, and with this final piece he "epitomized his life in art." (401) Pilarcik, Marlene A. "Dialectics and Change in Kawabata's The Master of Go." Modern Language Studies This article delves into the conflicting forces represented by the Master, who becomes the embodiment of traditional with his aesthetic appreciation of the inner workings of go, while the challenger Otake is an embodiment of the modern, rational man, intent on success. Pilarcik faithfully demonstrates the ebb and flow in breaking down the aspects of each man's game. In the end, however, it is not either man's personality nor just the death of the Master, but it is the decline of go as an art, with its grand traditions which inevitably fades to the modern world.

Writing Yasunari Kawabata The arts at the beginning of twentieth century saw a turn from social realism to a more expressionistic pathos, and the work of Yasunari Kawabata (Kawabata Yasunari) was no exception. In the 1920s his association with the Neo-Sensualists says it all: these writers employed lyrical and impressionistic techniques to become the voice of a new generation of Japanese artists. Kawabata was their most celebrated member. He gained attention for his use of Western aesthetic techniques, but he later withdrew from Modernist avant-garde writing. His style eventually moved toward a combination of a Japanese aesthetic with psychological narrative and melancholic tone.

Many of Kawabata's books explore melancholically the place of sex in culture and the life of the individual. His works combined tradition with modernity, and realism with hallucinations. Kawabata was born in Osaka into a prosperous and cultured family. He was orphaned at the age of three. The family deaths deprived Kawakawa of normal childhood and he was raised by his grandparents. In 1920 he started his literature studies at Tokyo Imperial University, and graduated in 1924. With a group of young writers, Kawabata founded the journal Bungei Jidai (Contemporary Literature), an advocate of the Neo-Sensualist movement. Kawabata gained his first literary success in 1925 with the novella IZU NO ODORIKO (The Izu Dancer).The auto biographical work recounted his youthful infatuation with a fourteen-year-old dancer. The story ends with a separation.

Yasunari Kawabata In 1968 Kawabata was the first Japanese writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. He is described to be a "neo-sensualist", combining social realism with lyrical and impressionist techniques. Having read three of his books it is obvious that Kawabata was preoccupied with topics such as loneliness, death and unreturned love. Kawabata was born into a highly cultured family from Osaka. Orphaned at the age of three he was raised by his paternal grandfather. His only sister died when he was seven. These early losses must have caused traumata that later contributed to his melancholic tendencies. In the early 1920s he studied literature at the Tokyo Imperial University and co-founded Bungei Jidai ("Contemporary Literature"), a publication that served Japan's modernist authors as literary forum.

Kawabata, Yasunari Yasunari Kawabata, son of a highly-cultivated physician, was born in 1899 in Osaka. After the early death of his parents he was raised in the country by his maternal grandfather and attended the Japanese public school. From 1920 to 1924, Kawabata studied at the Tokyo Imperial University, where he received his degree. He was one of the founders of the publication Bungei Jidai, the medium of a new movement in modern Japanese literature. Kawabata made his debut as a writer with the short story, Izu dancer, published in 1927. After several distinguished works, the novel Snow Country in 1937 secured Kawabata's position as one of the leading authors in Japan. In 1949, the publication of the serials Thousand Cranes and The Sound of the Mountain was commenced. He became a member of the Art Academy of Japan in 1953 and four years later he was appointed chairman of the P.E.N. Club of Japan. At several international congresses Kawabata was the Japanese delegate for this club. The Lake (1955), The Sleeping Beauty (1960) and The Old Capital (1962) belong to his later works, and of these novels, The Old Capital is the one that made the deepest impression in the author's native country and abroad. In 1959, Kawabata received the Goethe-medal in Frankfurt.
