A classic work by Yasunari Kawabata, the pinnacle of Japanese literature
A stunning new hardcover collector's edition
Kawabata Yasunari's works dominated my first three years of writing. -Yu Hua
Kawabata Yasunari greatly admired delicate beauty and loved to use language that was often sad and symbolic to express the life of nature and the fate of man. —— Nobel Prize in Literature Award Speech

"Yama-sound" depicts the story of Nobuo's family, his son's affair, his daughter's failed marriage, the sorrow of old age, and Nobuo's subtle attachment to his beautiful daughter-in-law, Kikuko... Kawabata Yasunari used his usual aesthetic touch to delicately and calmly condense the post-war world, style and reality into the sorrow and melancholy of Japan since ancient times, showing the skills of overlapping images in poetry and drama. This book and "Thousand Cranes" are recognized as the pinnacle of Japanese literature.
