Sobre este artículo
Tokyo: Kodansha International, (1969). First American edition & first translation from the Japanese. Octavo (8.5" x 6.25"), 149 pages. Publisher's deep red cloth lettered in silver on the spine, in pictorial dust jacket. Publisher's card soliciting information to assist with "promoting cultural exchange between East & West" laid-in.
Almost indiscernible small stain on the upper cover, previous owner Julia Kuroda's rubber-stamped name & address at the bottom edge of text block, still very good or better in near fine dust jacket with a trace of edge wear.
This copy from the library of Julia N. Kuroda, the wife of Rev. Andrew Y. Kuroda. The Kurodas were interned at the Thule Lake, California relocation camp after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.
Kawabata was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1968 "for his narrative mastery, which with great sensibility expresses the essence of the Japanese mind."
