Have you read The Lake?

What's so great about it? It's just standard Japanese blandness that they indulge in because they think it's zen or whatever the fuck.

No but i am interested in reading more Kawabata
I was thinking of thousand cranes next but is The Lake better than thousand cranes?
>>21391730
For me it was his writing of Shimamura's and Komako's relationship
I loved their doomed romance and how it showcases Japanese tradition and culture
It evoked a melancholic feeling

What made it boring to you? It is centered around shimamura and komako's affair
