24.08.2009 - Interpretation of dali48

Later in life the author described himself as a child "without home and family." - Some critics feel that these early traumas form the background for the sense of loss and regret which permeate his writing... - Young women also appear prominently in other Kawabata's works, such as Nemureru Bijo (Sleeping Beauty, 1961) and the short novel Tanpopo (Dandelion, published posthumously)... - The novel was serialized in the Asahi Shimbun newspaper, bringing modernist, experimental fiction to a wider audience within Japan - Kawabata was married in 1931, and afterward settled in the ancient samurai capital of Kamakura, southwest of Tokyo, spending the winters in Zushi... - In the depth of the mirror the evening landscape moved by, the mirror and the reflected figures like motion pictures superimposed one on the other. The figures and the background were unrelated, and yet figures, transparent and intangible, and the background, dim in the gathering darkness, melted into a sort of symbolic world not of this world - Particularly when a light out in the mountains shone in the center of the girl's face - Shimamura felt his chest rise at the inexpressible beauty of it"... ( Y. Kawabata, From The Snow Country, P.A.C.)
