About This Novel
The beauty of Japan is popular all over the world, and Yasu Kawabata is indispensable for its success. He regards beauty as his "belief" and uses beautiful words to expand the realm of aesthetics. His thoughts gradually matured and were scattered in many essays, making it difficult for ordinary readers to get a full picture. Mr. Chen Dewen, a famous translator and scholar, has studied Kawabata Yasunari for decades, carefully sorted out, integrated and translated this book, which completely and accurately presents Kawabata's aesthetic ideological system and presents the essence of Japanese oriental aesthetics in a textbook style. People with high emotional intelligence, simply put, have strong empathy. The first thing is to have a keen sense of perception and be able to distinguish between beauty and ugliness. Reading Kawabata's prose is like communicating with Kawabata Yasumimoto himself, listening directly to the gentle words of this Eastern soul known as "the most sensitive and most understanding of beauty", and understanding the mystery of the beauty of Japan and the East.

My favorite article by Kawabata Yasunari is probably The Dancer of Izu. When I read several articles collected in this book for the first time, I realized that they were Nobel Prize winners. This article could not be written by ordinary writers. The brushstrokes are very sensitive, but the rendering of the plot or story is very heavy. The core aesthetics should be very typical Japanese aesthetics, which are a bit extreme and feel like flowers blooming with blood. The prose part is difficult to read, and you have to read it at least twice to absorb most of it.
