Features: This book is one of the collected works of Yasunari Kawabata, a Japanese author of the New Sensibility Movement. It includes his novel "House Crest." In the process of inventing a new type of soy sauce, the solitary inventor Hatanaka Hachiro marries Kuni, the son of the man downstairs, to, who had been secretly engaged to Hatanaka. This work, along with "The Sleep Garden," is narrated in the "fourth person." The author believed that to more deeply depict or explore a character's actions, psychology, and self-awareness, three points of view are insufficient. Thus, he established the fourth-person mode, attempting to explore the reality of psychological depth in self-awareness.
