About This Novel

In a corner of Kyoto, Chieko, who was adopted by a brocade merchant, has grown into a slim girl. On the night of the Gion Festival, she met the village girl Miaozi for the first time, and was surprised to find that the two were twin sisters. They miss each other, but they cannot recognize each other because of their different identities. Between the sisters' faint longing and sadness, there are interspersed the beauty of Kyoto's four seasons and their respective explorations of life and emotions. "Ancient Capital" is one of Kawabata Yasunari's Nobel Prize-winning works. It contains two articles, "Ancient Capital" and "Beauty and Sorrow". The text is delicate and sincere, and is known as "the postcard of Japanese literature".
