2 Nothingness and creation
I interpret the reading brain of “Snow Country” with “nothingness and creation”, because a researcher Mizuho Takada defined his nothingness as follows.
His nothingness is the feeling that can be seen as the origin of Kawabata who grew up as an orphan, in a wider, bigger and more free reality than all existence. The nothingness stemming from his little-known father and mother can lead to being bigger than a blue sky, and Kawabata’s literature came into the world with a fusion of love and death. In particular when nothingness goes with love, the implication of sublation, that is, an affection appears and with love comes death, the combination makes a grand leap forward to the sky, or it lies buried in the ground. Two conflicting concepts reply to each other by sublation, while they develop as a high level unit.
