In Kawabata's works, deeply rooted in the national artistic tradition of Japan, but at the same time freely using the techniques of modern literature, great importance is attached to subtext, understatement and suggestiveness. His main works include the novels “The Thousand-Winged Crane”, “Snow Country”, “Old Capital”, “The Moan of the Mountain”, etc. He considered the novel “Meijin” to be his key work.

One of the most famous novels is “Snow Country”. The book began publishing in 1934 and was published in separate editions until 1947. “Snow Country” is a frank story about the love between a Tokyo amateur and a provincial geisha. The novel takes place at a thermal spa somewhere in northern Japan. The novel immediately acquired a reputation as a classic. After its publication, he began to be considered one of the most prominent writers in Japan.

The works have been translated into many languages ​​of the world.
