"This is a short, stunning Japanese novel told in a simplistic style underlain by layers of meaning to be mined by the reader long after he/she has finished the book. It's a fast, engaging read that doesn't go at all where I expected it to go. The characters are deep and complex - they have deep and complex relationships, conflicts, guilts, longings, failures, sensualities, connivances, etc. The symbolism of the book is grounded largely in the tea ceremony and objects used therein. The tea ceremony has its origins in Zen Buddhism. The book's title comes from the legend that if a person makes a thousand paper cranes, one wish will come true." - Amazon Customer Reviews

  • Mô tả

Kikuji has been invited to a tea ceremony by a mistress of his dead father, only to find that the mistress’ rival and successor is also present. He falls for her, with devastating consequences. By 1949 Yasunari Kawabata, the first Japanese author to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, felt that the tradition of the tea ceremony had been degraded. In this delicate novella he uses the ceremony as a powerful vehicle for loneliness, yearning and loss of history.
