I find myself being very nostalgic about obejcts that would have no meaning for someone else, but conjure up great moments of joy (or sorrow ) for me. A thing as simple as my son's baby shoes will strike me to the core. I haven't read much of Kawabata, just a few stories from First Snow on Fiji, but I do love the simplicity and beauty which replaces a plot so many times in Japanese fiction. This book sounds fascinating, especially as I have a secret (or, not any more ;) goal of folding 1,000 origami cranes. Just to see if I can do it. Although, it'll seriously cut into my reading time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246769997404253590.post-66415929895750705952009-08-25T06:38:13.369-04:002009-08-25T06:38:13.369-04:00I agree with Mel, it really is a very interesting ...I agree with Mel, it really is a very interesting review.
