Japan Society of Boston Book Club

Wednesday, March 20, 2024

from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM EST

Do you love Japanese literature? The JSB Book Club will be meeting to discuss Spring Snow by Yukio Mishima. 

Spring Snow is the first of Yukio Mishima's Sea of Fertility tetralogy, a series of four connected novels that was his final work, and considered to be his literary masterpiece. It is the story of star crossed lovers, friendship, political mishaps, and conniving servants, and takes place in 1912, Tokyo in the inner circle of the imperial court.

Find a copy of Spring Snow, here.  You are welcome to read any translation. 

Due to a scheduling conflict, March's Book Club meeting will be held on March 20th. 

The JSB Book Club meets on the last Wednesday of every other month to discuss great modern Japanese novels. The purpose of our club is to strengthen the Boston community of Japan enthusiasts by creating a space for thoughtful and sociable discussion.

The club is limited to Japan Society of Boston Members. Interested in joining but not yet a Member of the Japan Society of Boston? Consider becoming a Member today! If you are already a Member and interested in the group, please contact us to have your name added to the club mailing list
