A story of lost love and beauty, by Japan's literary master. Shimamura is tired of the bustling city. He takes the train through the snow to the mountains of western Japan, to meet a geisha he believes he loves. The beautiful and innocent Komako is strictly bound by the rules of a rural geisha and lives a life of service and isolation that is foreign to Shimamura. Snow Country is both sensitive and discreet, reflecting in Kawabata's precise, lyrical writing the unspoken love and subdued passion of the young Japanese couple.
