Snow Country

The frustrated Japanese painter Shimamura (played by Ryo Ikebe) travels around the country and passes through a place called Snow Country. At a local hot spring hotel, he met the 19-year-old shamisen female artist Komako (played by Keiko Kishi). Juzi is beautiful, pure, playful and cute. Shimamura felt the purity of this girl. Although he admired her, he still did not want to tarnish this beautiful jade. On the eve of leaving the Snow Country and returning to Tokyo, these two people who admire each other but have very different identities finally get rid of their shackles and unite together. The following year, Shimamura, who missed Juzi, returned to the Snow Country. At this time, in order to repay the kindness of the Shamisen teacher for raising her, Juzi was willing to become a geisha to make money and treat the teacher's son Xingnan. The girl Ye Zi (played by Kaoru Yachigusa) who takes care of Xingnan at the same time loves Xingnan. She hates Juzi's vacillation between her fiancé Xingnan and her friend Shimamura. Of course, this also made Shimamura feel upset. The second meeting between the two ended in an awkward atmosphere, and where will their love go in the end... This film is adapted from the novella of the same name by Japanese writer Kawabata Yasunari.
