My research is based on Japan’s about the Wartime Literature of Yasunari Kawabata’s selected novels. Kawabata’s fiction combines elements of modern and traditional literature. Kawabata often focused on retaining traditional culture in the face of the modern world as the subject of his fiction. He presented and defended such traditional Japanese forms as the tea ceremony in Thousand Cranes, the game of Go in The Master of Go, folk art in Kyoto in The Old Capital, and Snow Country his farewell to the geisha as artisan and feminine ideal. Kawabata never wrote about political turmoil, but instead focused on personal and spiritual crises. His major themes included loneliness, alienation, the meaninglessness and fleeting nature of human passion, aging, and death
