andy-pandy 0 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 You know, yukiguni. Hear it when talking about a few places? Is it a term used for somewhere that has lots of snow, or is there actually somewhere that is "officially" Snow Country? Anyone know? Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Kawabata Yasunari based that book on an area in Niigata. They still die the cloths up there in the snow during the winter time but Im sure O11 could tell us more about it though BTW, I really enjoyed that book. Especially that first chapter where the guy is on the train thinking about his finger... Link to post Share on other sites
