Tired of the bustling city, a man takes the train through the snow to Japan''s mountains, to meet with a geisha he believes he loves. Beautiful and innocent, she is tightly bound by the rules of a rural geisha, and lives a life of servitude and seclusion. Snow Country, Yasunari Kawabata''s masterpiece, is a delicate, subtle meditation on love and its limits.
