«A pesar de mis veinte años, hacía ya mucho tiempo que vivía atormentado por mi carácter retraído y solitario hasta que, cuando ya no pude seguir soportando la opresión de mi melancolía, me decidí a emprender aquel viaje a Izu. De manera que me pareció que la divina providencia me otorgaba un infalible consuelo al permitirme escuchar cómo alguien me llamaba buena persona en el sentido corriente y humano de la palabra».

Years later, the only thing I can recall of my sister's appearance is the image of her white mourning clothes as she was carried of a man's back. Even if I close my eyes and try to attach a head and limbs to that image, only the rain and the red clay of the path come back to me. I feel irritated that the view in my mind's eye does not parallel the actual events. The man who carried her would not materialize, either. And so this soft white entity floating through the air is the only memory I have of my sister.

Lyrical and beautiful. Kawabata’s harmonious writing style hooked me immediately, definitely I’ll be reading more from him.
