Features: Kawabata's literature not only combines with the traditions of classical Eastern literature, including Chinese literature, and Japanese literature after the Heian period, but also has a deep connection with Western literature, including modernism, at the beginning of the "New Sensibility" movement. Through this translated and published "Collected Works of Kawabata Yasunari," readers can understand the diversity of Kawabata's literary creation and the interest in his literature. He learned from the West but never simply imitated it; instead, he created literature that was distinctly Eastern. May readers be able to appreciate the true value of Kawabata Yasunari's literature. This collection, within the scope of ten volumes, strives to systematically reflect Kawabata Yasunari's literary tendencies in different periods. It selectively includes works that have never been published in China but hold significant positions in Kawabata's literary world. It pays attention to various literary genres, including short and long stories, novellas, folk tales, essays, and creative. Some controversial or highly debated works have also been selectively included.
