About This Novel

Includes "A Thousand Cranes" and its sequel "A Thousand Birds". In "Thousand Cranes", Mitani Kikuharu's father had a very complicated emotional entanglement with Chikako Kurimoto and Mrs. Ota during his lifetime. After Mr. Mitani passed away, Mrs. Ota and Kikuji met by chance at a tea party and actually fell in love with him. After the two fell in love, Mrs. Ota committed suicide due to deep inner condemnation. Mrs. Ota's daughter Fumiko's contact with Kikuji has always been in the shadow of her mother, accompanying Kikuji as her mother's substitute. The projection of fate overlapped on the living and the dead, and the peaceful life was completely derailed and headed in an unknown direction... "Hachidori" describes how Yukiko, who briefly appeared in the first chapter, became Kikuji's bride, and then made a decision to eliminate the sadness and loss caused by Mrs. Ota's disappearance. All kinds of efforts finally made Kikuji full of tenderness for him... "A Thousand Cranes" is one of the three works by Kawabata Yasunari that won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1968. It has the most beautiful characteristics of Japanese works: amazing simplicity, delicate emotions, and a painter-like sensitivity to the tangible world. It depicts the conflict between love and morality, and depicts Japanese scenery and psychology in a delicate and timeless way. It seems as if there are thousands of white cranes flying in the sunset between the lines.
