Nobel Prize winner Yasunari Kawabata’s Snow Country is widely considered to be the writer’s masterpiece: a powerful tale of wasted love set amid the desolate beauty of western Japan.
Snow Country is the story of a geisha, Komako, who gives herself, without illusions and with undismayed directness, to a love affair foredoomed to transience. It describes the three visits of Shinamura, a rich Tokyo dilettante, to a hot spring in the west of Japan, the snowiest region in the world. Komako's sparkling freshness stirs him, and he is touched by the "ir- resistible sadness" she makes him feel, a sense of beauty going to waste and of imminent decay. But he cannot return her love; and their strange relationship, to which she gives so much, is doomed from the start.
