Features: Kawabata Yasunari's literature not only combines with the traditions of classical Eastern literature, including Chinese literature, and post-Heian period Japanese literature, 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 interesting nature of his literature. He learned from the West but never simply imitated it; instead, he created literature that belongs to the East. May readers be able to appreciate the true value of Kawabata Yasunari's literature.
