Moreover Takada explains the creation of Kawabata. Kawabata plays with animal life and biology when writing his novels and defines an ideal form and grows it as artificial and deformed. For example in Snow Country, Shimamura is an introspective, muttering and emotional being, Komako is a woman with memorable fingers, and Yoko is a woman with a fire in her eye. These are the creations of Kawabata.
Actually, his own background is lonely and the novels of Kawabata including Snow Country reflect a grateful heart. Shimamura reciprocates with Komako in Snow Country. For example, Komako thanks the old lady for her care of the child, but scolds her a little. Komako receives thanks as a servant for the small acts of kindness from the old lady, while she considers her own situation because nobody sets up a clean bed for her.
