Product Description

A tale of wasted love, and beauty, by Japan''s literary master

Shimamura is tired of the bustling city. He takes the train through the snow to the mountains of the west coast of Japan, to meet with a geisha he believes he loves. Beautiful and innocent, Komako is tightly bound by the rules of a rural geisha, and lives a life of servitude and seclusion that is alien to Shimamura. Snow Country is both delicate and subtle, reflecting in Kawabata''s exact, lyrical writing the unspoken love and understated passion of the young Japanese couple.
