Snow Country
-An interior illustration for Snow Country by Yasumari Kawabata
The book is about a dance art researcher named Shimamura in Tokyo who travels three times to a hot spring inn in the snow country, and the emotional entanglement between a local geisha named Komako and a young girl named Yoko. I created the work based on the first two sentences of the book:
“The train came out of the long tunnel into the snow country. The earth lay white under the night sky.”
