About This Novel
Kawabata Yasunari's masterpiece and Nobel Prize-winning work. The representative works of Japanese post-war literature use words to outline the beauty of color, the centuries-old circulation of an ancient tea set, and a story of abnormal love involving two generations. They show the conflict between love and morality. They also depict the psychology very delicately, showing a scene of extreme beauty and sadness. "Thousand Cranes" is a short story collection by Kawabata Yasunari, which includes "Thousand Cranes" and the sequel to "Thousand Cranes", "A Chidori on the Blue Waves". The story mainly tells that Mitani Kikuharu's father had an affair with a woman named Kurimoto Chikako during his lifetime, and later fell in love with Mrs. Ota, but was alienated from the former because of the latter. Four years after his father's death, Kikuji and Mrs. Ota met unexpectedly at a tea party held by Chikako Kurimoto. Because Mrs. Ota missed Kikuji's father, she actually moved on to his son Kikuji, and Kikuji also accepted this immoral love. However, Mrs. Ota drank medicine and committed suicide out of guilt. Mrs. Ota's daughter Fumiko gradually fell in love with Kikuji during her contact with him. Chikako introduced her female disciple Yukiko to Kikuji and tried every means to bring them together. Wenzi was so ashamed of her mother that she finally left without saying goodbye.
