The special focus of J. Martin Holman's collection is Kawabata's early short fiction, texts written on either side of ''The Dancing Girl of Izu.'' Section 1 follows up the classic short story with four brief works crucial for any understanding, in terms of style and content, of how the young Kawabata shaped his preternatural skills.

Girls grow up so fast.'' Yet when the boy questions the woman about where the performers are likely to stay that night, her reply is redolent of caste prejudice: ''There's no way to tell where people like that are going to stay.

 Spring 2005 Course Offerings: Undergraduate
In this class, we will look at “dancing” and at “girls” as terms that combine a tradition of artistic expression (sometimes sacred or ceremonial, sometimes profane and professional) with a host of political issues (class distinctions, race and national identity, labor laws, definitions of gender and sexuality).
Dancing girls, as we will see in films starring Josephine Baker and Anna May Wong, are shaped in part by the pressures of race and class, and must negotiate a balance between exoticism, voyeurism, and the value of the spectacle.
One tiny slip—a man lifting another man in the pas de deux?—illuminates the tensions and anxieties that keep the dancing girl on her toes, as in the edgy choreography of Mark Morris.

 washingtonpost.com: Kawabata Country
A number of them are justly famous in Japan, but only one, "The Dancing Girl of Izu," has received wide circulation in translation, in a slightly shortened version by the great Edward Seidensticker, first published in the 1960s and available in a variety of editions over the years.
"The Dancing Girl," like many other stories included here, contain strong autobiographical elements, but these are used not for their own sake, as possible self-revelations, but as a means to suggest the difficulties of penetrating toward any kind of ultimate truth.
This conviction, so important to an understanding of Kawabata's basic artistic stance, is most clearly revealed in the second story, "Diary of My Sixteenth Year." The story contains three layers: the narrative itself, an afterword appended in 1925, and a second afterword attached still later.
