Asako, the younger, has become obsessed with locating a third sibling, while also experiencing love for the first time.

The book concerns Ineko's mother and Kuno, the young man who loves Ineko and wants to marry her. The two have left Ineko at the Ikuta Mental Hospital, which she has entered for treatment of a condition that might be called "seizures of body blindness." Although her vision as a whole is unaffected, she periodically becomes unable to see her lover Kuno's body: when this occurs, Ineko breaks down. Whether or not her condition actually constitutes madness is a topic of heated discussion between Kuno and Ineko's mother.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1017248</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1017248</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kawabata, Yasunari, 1899-1972]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1017248037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[First Snow on Fuji]]></title><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1642786</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1642786</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kawabata, Yasunari, 1899-1972]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 1999 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1642786037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Izu Dancer and Other Stories]]></title><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1718723</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1718723</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1718723037</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Lake]]></title><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1660674</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1660674</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kawabata, Yasunari, 1899-1972]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 1977 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1660674037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty and Sadness]]></title><description><![CDATA[The successful writer Oki has reached middle age and is filled with regrets.
