Categories This Question Is Answered: digg_skin = 'compact'; digg_window = 'new'; Who is Yasunari Kawabata? 31 Mar 2007 13:43 Report Yasunari Kawabata was the first Japanese novelist to win the Nobel Prize for literature in 1968. The works of this Japanese author are always referred to as lyrical and melancholy. His works are a fine blend of ancient beauty and modern viewpoints, the realistic and the surreal.
Yasunari Kawabata studied literature at Tokyo University, and his first works were published in literary journals which opposed modern realistic writing. They were influenced by the surreal approach such as that common in European avant-garde literature, looking for a new writing style.
Yasunari Kawabata gained recognition throughout Japan for his abundant collection of work that displayed a constant change in style, from his stream of conscious writing technique to semi-fictitious observational works.
His writing reached world renowned status from 1960 onwards. He lectured in the United States and famously publicly condemned Chairman Maoâs Cultural Revolution, before receiving the Nobel Prize. His career and life ended in 1972 after a successful suicide attempt.

Review of Yasunari Kawabatas Palm Of The Hand Stories
'Affectless' prose is an interesting thing. Despite its supposed merits of subtlety and concision through absence of emphasis, it isn't always the case that 'spare' prose results in anything more believable or affecting than more ornate writing. Indeed, the reverse is often the case. Supposedly minimalist, understated lines become monumental and bloated by dint of their sheer purposefulness; the affected intention shines through the alleged clarity. Think of many Bukowski poems, where every line slams home with a clunk; or the ponderous thud of Hemingway's 'simple' sentences. One of the few writers I've seen make understatement work is the Japanese Modernist and Nobel Prize winner Yasunari Kawabata; and Kawabata does things with understatement that I wouldn't have thought possible if I hadn't chanced to pick up his Beauty and Sadness a few years ago. That book is certainly 'affectless' - as much descriptive weight is accorded to the deaths of major characters as it is to what their family members have for breakfast. But what saves Kawabata from clunkiness is a fine eye for detail: he has an Impressionist's command of light and color paired with a Modernist's appreciation for the strange, for the union of seeming incongruities. In short, he writes narrative haiku - and if that sounds precious, it should be remembered that his stories and novels are devoid of both sentimentality and bitterness. Palm of the Hand Stories

Japan Forum Japan Forum All Things Japanese PDA View Full Version : Yasunari Kawabata thomas Dec 24, 2002, 22:08 I just finished reading Kawabata's "Sound of the Mountain" and thought of briefly introducing one of Japan's most celebrated authors.
Yasunari Kawabata (1899 - 1972)
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 married in 1931 and settled near Kamakura, scene to many of his novels. In 1948 he published his most famous work: it took him 12 years to complete "Snow Country". Snow Country tells the story of Shimamura, a wealthy middle-aged ballet aficionado in love with Komako, an onsen geisha, and Yoko, a maid at his inn. Kawabata describes their inability to express the love for one another and employs the change of seasons to depict the change in their relationships. As in all of Kawabata's books the the story line is thin, but his narrative is overwhelmingly poetic and beautiful.

Snow Country
Shimamura returns more than a year later to find that Komako has become a geisha. Their relationship remains rocky. Komako seems to realize her feelings for Shimamura are pointless and she fights her desire for him. It is a losing battle and she defies tradition to spend time with Shimamura. An added complication to their relationship is Yoko, a young girl Shimamura notices on the train and becomes fascinated with.
At the end of the book, Komako has told Shimamura to leave and not return, saying she will live a normal life if he stays away. Shimamura, who seems to care more for Komako than he wants to or is comfortable with, is on the verge of leaving when a tragedy occurs in the village. The tragedy serves as a final ending for their relationship, but the relationship was in a dying stage almost from its beginning.
The language of this story is amazing. It is lyrically descriptive:

Yasunari Kawabata - Snow Country
We had snow last week and the low mountains surrounding the village were a lovely white. Across the lake, the Alps are now boasting their beautiful winter plumage. The temperature has been hovering around zero for the past few weeks and it seemed like the perfect time to settle down with Yasunari Kawabataâs 1950s classic, Snow Country Snow Country is set in a mountainous region of Japan , a place of long winters and deep snows, of cold and dark living. A place of tunnels and buried buildings. This setting works to underline the novelâs emotional preoccupation â the bewildering coldness of the human heart, the inevitable decay of beauty and purity. The novel takes place at an onsen hot springs ) resort and tells the story of an affair between a wealthy Tokyo man, Shimamura, and a geisha, Komako. Shimamura is incapable of love but drawn again and again to leave his family and visit Komako in the mountains. His rare visits and the life she must lead during his absences drain Komako of her innocence and ultimately her beauty. Kawabataâs feel for the lonely aesthetic of the snow country is just tremendous: The color of evening had already fallen on the mountain valley, early buried in shadows. Out of the dusk the distant mountains, still reflecting the light of the evening sun, seemed to have come much nearer.

In Beauty and Sadness , a woman is made to type out the manuscript of her novelist husbandâs partly autobiographical novel depicting his own affair with a fifteen-year-old girl. His young mistress had a miscarriage, separates from him yet finds herself forever entangled in the web of their lost embrace, never to love again or marry. Cruelly, at the end, already a mother of two grown-up children, the wife is to suffer a somewhat similar fate (no, I have no wish to plant a plot spoiler here): an act of vengeance indirectly resulting from the affair. Snow Country The Sound of the Mountain (which Desmond reviewed here ) or Beauty and Sadness ? Perhaps, I should just let it be.
