谷崎潤一郎
Seidensticker is closely associated with the work of three major Japanese writers of the 20th century: Yasunari Kawabata, Jun'ichirō Tanizaki, and Yukio Mishima. His landmark translations of novels by Kawabata, in particular "Snow Country" (1956) and "Thousand Cranes" (1958), led, in part, to Kawabata being awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1968.
