One of the main reasons why Kawabata Yasunari is famous is that he is the first Japanese writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature and the second Asian to win the Nobel Prize in Literature after Tagore.
There are many news reports. Usually, even illiterate people who don't read books basically know his name, and they may not remember it, but they will always hear it. From 65438 to 0968, his three representative works Snow Country, Ancient Capital and Thousand Cranes all won Nobel Prize in Literature.
Among them, Snow Country is his masterpiece which won the highest honor, and it also embodies Kawabata Yasunari's aesthetic taste with oriental characteristics: sadness, elegance and mystery.
Some people say that Kawabata Yasunari has two labels: one is the writer who has been moved the most times, and the other is the writer who has attended the funeral the most times.
