A review by bentoth1
Japan, the Beautiful, and Myself by Yasunari Kawabata

4.0

Kawabata's humble Nobel Lecture on Japanese literature, poetry, nature, Zen, flowers, gardening, ancient history, and delicate emotions...can't go wrong with that :)

"I have an essay with the title 'Eyes in their Last Extremity'. The title comes from the suicide note of the short-story writer Akutagawa. It is the phrase that pulls at me with the greatest strength."
