Spring, Snow

[Inderjit Sanghe]

Anybody read 'Spring, Snow' by Yukio Mishima? A magnificent book, in my opinion, beautiful imagery, excellent characterisation and a well paced plot. The final few pages are haunting, and the love story between Kiyokai and Satoko is beautiful.

to have kiyokai actively pursue satoko after she had been formally engaged to the crowned prince, that was a stroke of genius by mishima. i had wondered up to that point if kiyokai would ever divest himself of his harsh indifference.
