Extractions: Kawabata Yasunari, 1968 UPI/Corbis-Bettmann (b. June 11, 1899, O saka, Japand. April 16, 1972, Zushi), Japanese novelist who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1968. His melancholic lyricism echoes an ancient Japanese literary tradition in the modern idiom. The sense of loneliness and preoccupation with death that permeates much of Kawabata's mature writing possibly derives from the loneliness of his childhood (he was orphaned early and lost all near relatives while still in his youth). He graduated from Tokyo Imperial University in 1924 and made his entrance into the literary world with the semiautobiographical Izu no odoriko The Izu Dancer ). It appeared in the journal Bungei jidai ("The Artistic Age"), which he founded with the writer Yokomitsu Riichi; this journal became the organ of the Neosensualist group with which Kawabata was early associated. This school is said to have derived much of its aesthetic from such post-World War I French literary currents as Dadaism and Expressionism. Their influence on Kawabata's novels may be seen in the abrupt transitions between separate brief, lyrical episodes; in imagery that is frequently startling in its mixture of incongruous impressions; and in his juxtaposition of the beautiful and the ugly. These same qualities, however, are present in Japanese prose of the 17th century and in the renga (linked verse) of the 15th century. It is to the latter that Kawabata's fiction seemed to draw nearer in later years.

Encyclopedia Kawabata, Yasunari y¤sÅ«n¤ rÄ k¤w¤ b¤t¤ ) , 1899â1972, Japanese novelist. His first major work was The Izu Dancer, (1925). He came to be a leader of the school of Japanese writers that propounded a lyrical and impressionistic style, in opposition to the proletarian literature of the 1920s. Kawabata's melancholy novels often treat, in a delicate, oblique fashion, sexual relationships between men and women. For example, Snow Country (tr. 1956), probably his best-known work in the West, depicts the affair of an aging geisha and an insensitive Tokyo businessman. All Kawabata's works are distinguished by a masterful, and frequently arresting, use of imagery. Among his works in English translation are the novels Thousand Cranes (tr. 1959)

http://www.gobooks.info/meijin.html

Extractions: This is a novel about go, and it's wonderful. It's about the last official match played by Shusai, the last of the hereditary Honinbos; his opponent is Kitani Minoru, though he is called `Otake' in the book. The whole book is a report on the match; the moves of the match are given, though with only minimal commentary on them, enough to put them in their dramatic context but without too much detail so that non-go players won't get put off. I'm not very good at describing literature, so I won't try that here other than to say that it's a very moving description of a changing of the guard. Read it, tell your non-go playing friends to read it as well. It's currently available in a handsome Vintage International edition. Look in the fiction section of any good bookstore, in the K's. Here is a picture taken during this match. (It's a JPEG, 108kb.) It's from the book Japanese Game of "Go" , by F. Mihori.

Extractions: This paper explores the symbolic representation that has been lost or forgotten through translations of the story from Japanese to English. The paper shows how symbolic imagery adds to the plot of the story. A discussion of the book illustrates the use of descriptive language and poignant symbolism employed by the author as tools to emphasize the main theme of unfulfilled love. "Yasunari Kawabata novels were set in environments depicting loneliness, emptiness, symbolizing unsatisfied yearning, and transient or unattainable love, with a backdrop of wild and beautiful nature. His novels were written in a free associative and unconventional style, usually over long periods of time. The bulk of 'Snow Country' was published between 1935 and 1937, the period in which it was set, but it was not formally completed until 1947."
