Features: Collection of Kawabata Yasunari, 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 the modernist movement, at the beginning of the "Sensory Movement." The substantial connection between the long-standing Eastern traditions and Western modernist literature, along with a broad concern for the world, is a characteristic that runs through Kawabata's works. The diversity of his literature has only been widely understood by the world now, in the present, as it approaches the centennial of his Nobel Prize win, more than twenty years after the award. It is also one of the features of 20th-century literature.
