"The Old Capital is one of the three novels cited specifically by
the Nobel Committee when they awarded Kawabata the Nobel Prize for
Literature in 1968. With the ethereal tone and aesthetic styling
characteristic of Kawabata's prose, "The Old Capital tells the
story of Chieko, the adopted daughter of a Kyoto kimono designer,
Takichiro, and his wife, Shige.
Set in the traditional city of Kyoto, Japan, this deeply poetic
story revolves around Chieko who becomes bewildered and troubled as
she discovers the true facets of her past. With the harmony and
time-honored customs of a Japanese backdrop, the story becomes
poignant as Chieko's longing and confusion develops.
