90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books. Kikuji has been invited to a tea ceremony by the mistress of his deceased father, only to find that his rival and the mistress's heir is also present. He falls in love with the rival, with disastrous consequences. In 1949, Yasunari Kawabata, the first Japanese author to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, felt that the tradition of the tea ceremony had been diminished. In this sensitive novella, he uses the ceremony as a powerful vehicle for loneliness, desire, and the loss of history.
