Summary	New York Herald Tribune Shimamura is tired of the bustling city. He takes the train through the snow to the mountains of the west coast of Japan, to meet with a geisha he believes he loves. This is the story about the affair between a wealthy dilettante and a mountain geisha who gives herself to him without illusions or regrets. Kawabata creates a work that is dense in implication and exalting in its sadness.
