About This Novel
The works of Nobel Prize winner Kawabata Yasunari, the love, joys and sorrows of three half-sisters, and the rainbow-like beauty of life express the spiritual characteristics of the Japanese people with extraordinary sensitivity. "How Many Times the Rainbow" is a novella written by Kawabata Yasunari in 1956. It tells the rather unique story of three half-sisters Momoko, Asako, and Wakako. The background is Kyoto in the early 1950s, shortly after the war. The main line of the story is clear, and the branch lines are mixed but not chaotic. The entanglement between the parents and the alienated and caring relationship between the three sisters are all described in detail. It is a gem in the long history of Kawabata's literature. At the beginning of the novel, the fleeting image of a rainbow is outlined with clear brushstrokes. The beauty and rootlessness of the rainbow is a symbol of the fate of the heroines in the book. The work uses the quaint customs and charm of Kyoto and surrounding areas as the background to depict the love and joys and sorrows of the three sisters' love and life.
