At first Kikuji is appalled by her indelicate nature, but it is not long before he succumbs to passion—a passion with tragic and unforeseen consequences, not just for the two lovers, but also for Mrs. Ota’s daughter, to whom Kikuji’s attachments soon extend. Death, jealousy, and attraction convene around the delicate art of the tea ceremony, where every gesture is imbued with profound meaning. From the Trade Paperback edition.

    NATURE IN KAWABATA’S WRITINGS Selected Secondary Sources His own cosmos ―While every novelist endeavors to create a proper setting for his novel, Kawabata seems to have been especially careful in preparing a cosmos uniquely his own. In these worlds of Kawabata‘s, some of the commonest words come to have special meanings, though they may vary somewhat from one reader to another. There emerges a tension between the generality of the word and the specifics of the context, and that tension becomes a source of stimulation for the reader‘s fancy.‖ --Ueda, Modern Japanese Writers, 213 Wide margins of canvas of life (moths, Russian woman) ―The kaleidoscopic succession of images . effectively suspends the narrative progress and forces us to pay attention to those large margins in the canvas of life.” --Miyashi, Accomplices of Silence, 111 In The Sound of the Mountain: ―the paragraphs, highlighting the objects of [Shingo‘s] consciousness, nonetheless gradually move away from the interior of his existence toward the container of all the drama – the world around, the wide margins of the novel.‖ --Miyashi, Accomplices of Silence, 118 Nature by itself ―Kawabata‘s achievement . lies in just this, his keen awareness of the objects around men that exist in themselves as solidly as people do. Objects, in the world and in the world of the novel, are somehow or other related to people, but Kawabata seldom makes the connection between them explicit for us. With each of his brief paragraphs self-contained in this way . these objects tend to stand autonomous.” --Miyashi, Accomplices of Silence, 119 > not a statement of atomism, but of biocentrism ―What I would call Kawabata‘s nominal imagination is apparent even in his earliest work.

  • Kawabata Yasunari: Shock and the Reunion with Inner Nature
    5 Kawabata Yasunari: Shock and the Reunion with Inner Nature hat role does shock play in the writings of the Japanese writer and WNobel laureate Kawabata Yasunari? Benjamin and Kawabata in many respects seem to be situated on the same historical threshold. A keen aware- ness of the threat of shock colors the image of modernity in both writers. At the same time, there are decisive differences between the two. Benjamin sees the heightened consciousness of modernity as originating in the attempt to parry the daily sensations of shock generated by capitalism. Kawabata’s novels bring out the fact that shock also works the other way. For those who are imprisoned in the citadel of identity, even the painful experience of personal disintegration may seem liberating. Not only the disintegration of the aura, but also the breakdown of identity manifests itself as shock, and, to that degree, shock not only forces consciousness away from, but also back to, inner nature. After Japan’s defeat in the Second World War, Kawabata declared that he from now on could write nothing by elegies – or literally, that he ‘could do nothing but return into the sadness of Japan’ (cf. Kawabata 1973c:196). This was an era of cultural ‘Americanization’ and political subordination to the US when Japan’s traditional culture seemed to be in a process of irretrievable dissolution. Most of the novels to which I will refer belong mainly to the postwar period – The Master of Go (1942–54, Meijin), Thousand Cranes (1949–51, Senbazuru), The Sound of the Mountain (1949–54, Yama no oto), The House of the Sleeping Beauties (1960–61, Nemureru bijo), and The Old Capital (1961–62, Koto) – as well as his Nobel lecture ‘Japan, the Beautiful, and Myself’ (1968, ‘Utsukushii Nihon no watashi’).

  • Selected Secondary Sources on Kawabata's Snow Country
    SELECTED SECONDARY SOURCES ON KAWABATA’S SNOW COUNTRY Selected by David Barnhill Ueda, Makoto. Modern Japanese Writers and the Nature of Literature. Stanford, Calif.: Stanford University Press, 1976. ―Life in the real world was a mixture of things true and untrue, pure and impure, sincere and insincere. A novelist leading a spiritually rich life would be able to pick out only those things in life that were true, pure, and sincere, and then rearrange them to produce an order of reality more beautiful than the everyday kind. A man living a spiritually deprived existence would not be capable of doing so.‖ --Ueda, Modern Japanese Writers, 175 ―In general, then, it can be said that, for Kawabata, the best literary material was a life that was vital, positive, and pure.‖ --Ueda, Modern Japanese Writers, 176 ―Kawabata, however, differed from Shiga in one significant way: he did not idealize wild animals. For Shiga, the life of a sturdy animal in its natural setting was the ultimate model for human life. For Kawabata this was not so; animals in the wild might be living a more genuine life than men, but they were not conscious of it nor did they strive to perfect themselves.‖ --Ueda, Modern Japanese Writers, 176 ―Pure life‘ as conceived by Kawabata, then, is dynamic. It is energy generated by striving after an ideal. To use his favorite word, it is a ‗longing.‘ Deploring the fact that critics frequently called him a decadent writer or a nihilist, he once explained: ‗I have never written a story that has decadence or nihilism for its main theme.

  • Unbinding the Japanese Novel in English Translation
    Department of Modern Languages Faculty of Arts University of Helsinki UNBINDING THE JAPANESE NOVEL IN ENGLISH TRANSLATION The Alfred A. Knopf Program, 1955 – 1977 Larry Walker ACADEMIC DISSERTATION To be presented, with the permission of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Helsinki, for public examination in Auditorium XII University Main Building, on the 25th of September at 12 noon. Helsinki 2015 ISBN 978-951-51-1472-3 (paperback) ISBN 978-951-51-1473-0 (PDF) Unigrafia Helsinki 2015 ABSTRACT Japanese literature in English translation has a history of 165 years, but it was not until after the hostilities of World War II ceased that any single publisher outside Japan put out a sustained series of novel-length translations. The New York house of Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. published thirty-four titles of Japanese literature in English translation in hardcover between the years 1955 to 1977. This “Program,” as it came to be called, was carried out under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief Harold Strauss (1907-1975), who endeavored to bring the then-active modern writers of Japan to the stage of world literature. Strauss and most of the translators who made this Program possible were trained in military language schools during World War II. The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the publisher’s policies and publishing criteria in the selection of texts, the actors involved in the mediation process and the preparation of the texts for market, the reception of the texts and their impact on the resulting translation profile of Japanese literature in America, England and elsewhere.

At this juncture, three of his books, i.e. Snow Country, Thousand Cranes and The Old Capital, treated as a compendium series, were nominated towards the coveted award. While Kawabata won laurels for his quaint depiction of traditional Japan during the war and post-war period (World War II), acclaimed critics such as Tsuruta and Hibbett critiqued him for his ‘melancholic lyricism’, given that his books as yet reverberate the age old Japanese literary tradition of representational ‘haiku brevity’ dressed in painful modern idioms. More specifically, his works are commended for displaying a ‘broad and lasting’ appeal, and still continue to exude a pincer-hold over the international reader-community. For instance, as a striking characteristic feature, one derives, a vague ‘sense of loneliness’ and a narrative outline emphasizing ‘preoccupation with death in the presence of the other’ pervades most of his works,– reflecting the ethos of his times. Besides, the abrupt scenic transitions between distinct ‘brief and lyrical’ episodes, the exquisite use of ‘symbolic imagery’, the candid focus of ‘metaphor’, has frequently amazed every arbiter due to its capacity for creating forever-lasting ‘incompatible impressions’.
