The novel "Fine Snow" (Sasame yuki) is one of the most famous works of Junichiro Tanizaki (1886-1965), in which the skill of the writer manifested in its entirety and originality. It is a family saga depicting the lives of four sisters from an ancient merchant family. Brought up in a traditional spirit, but noticeably Europeanized and not alien to artistic talent, they act as guardians of culture in the face of impending war and new barbarism. The key to understanding the novel is the poetic image in its title, which reveals its inner, hidden meaning. Snow, along with cherry blossoms, has long been considered an object of aesthetic admiration in Japan. The title of the book can be read as a capacious symbol of the beautiful, a symbol of fragile beauty and harmony resisting the forces of chaos and destruction.
