24.08.2009 - Interpretation of dali48

Yasunari Kawabata (1899 - 1872). In 1968 Kawabata became the first Japanese novelist to win the Nobel Prize for Literature - His works combined the beauty of old Japan with modernist trends, and his prose blended realism with surrealistic visions - Kawabata's books have been described as "melancholy lyricism" - and often explore the place of sex within culture, and within individual lives... - There were days when little birds came and days when the wind sang through the pine needles - Although they weren't that high off the ground, these 2 little lovers felt as if they were in a completely different world - far away from the earth" ... (from 'Up in the Tree')

Kawabata was born into a prosperous family in Osaka, Japan. His father, Eikichi Kawabata, was a prominent physician who died of tuberculosis - when Yasunari was just 2 - He was orphaned by the death of his mother at age 3 - His grandmother died when he was 7 - and his only sister when he was 9 - The family deaths deprived Kawabata of the normal childhood - and he often said that he learned loneliness and rootleness early... (Y. Kawabata, P.A.C.)
