Yo no tengo clase de fuerza que tiene el arce. Estoy más cerca de las violetas que crecen en los huecos del árbol. Kioto comparte el tono etreo y el irisado estilo caracterstico de la prosa de Yasunari Kawabata. Cuenta la historia de Chieko la hija de un prestigioso diseñador de kimonos Takichiro y su esposa Shige. Desde su niñez le han dicho que una geisha la habia abandonado cuando apenas era una recien nacida. Pero al cumplir los veinte años ella conoce la verdad ansiosos por ser padres Takichiro y su mujer se la llevaron al hallarla sola y en la oscuridad bajo los cerezos. El amor que siente deseos de encontrar a sus verdaderos progenitores. Hasta que hace un descubrimiento asombroso en el altar de una divinidad budista Con el trasfondo de la ciudad de Kioto antigua capital de Japón esta novela describe la transmisin de la belleza y la tradición de una generación de artistas a la siguiente y confronta las desorientadas fuerzas de la postguerra japonesa con una ambivalente mezcla de fascinación y resentimiento.

Yasunari Kawabata (Osaka, Japan, 1899 – 1972) was one of the great writers of the 20th century and the first Japanese to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature (1968), an award given for the delicacy of his prose and his ability to capture the essence of the Japanese spirit

Marked from childhood by orphanhood and deep loneliness, Kawabata expressed in his works a melancholic sensitivity and a unique aesthetic that combines tradition and modernity. Educated in Japanese Literature at the Imperial University of Tokyo, he was the founder of the magazine Bungei Jidai (The Artistic Era), the voice of the Japanese neosensualist avant-garde

Among his most emblematic novels are "Snow Country" (Yukiguni), "Thousand Cranes" (Senbazuru), "The Sound of the Mountain" (Yama no Oto), as well as "The Master of Go", "The House of the Sleeping Beauties", "Kyoto" and "Beauty and Sadness". His subtle and poetic narrative explores themes such as ephemeral beauty, loneliness, and the passage of time

In addition to the Nobel, Kawabata received distinctions such as the Goethe-Medaille (Germany, 1959), the Order of Arts and Letters of France, and the Order of Culture of Japan. He was president of the Japanese PEN Club, promoting Japanese literature worldwide

Si bien el libro llegó después de lo prometido, está impecable; una muy buena edición. En cuanto a la novela, tiene la sutileza de las historias de Kawabata, una bonita estética y una linda historia. Invita a conocer Japón y motiva la lectura.
