Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

The stories of Yasunari Kawabata evoke an unmistakably Japanese atmosphere in their delicacy, understatement, and lyrical description. Kawabata lets us slide into the lives of people who have been shattered by war, loss, and longing.

First Snow on Fuji was first published in Japan in 1958. Kawabata selected the stories for this collection himself. This edition is the first to be published in English.

Kawabata’s tales in "First Snow on Fuji" have a timeless sensibility, although they certainly take place in the just post WWII Japan. There is as much silence as there are happenings in these short stories, and the combined impression they leave behind is much like shadows in footprints in fresh snow. The stories within the stories are enjoyable, as are the relationships between characters. Kawabata seems to make his sketches with just the right lines. Yasunari Kawabata and Haruki Murakami seem to be cut from a similar cloth.
