Spring Snow (春の雪, Haru no Yuki) is a novel by Yukio Mishima, the first in his Sea of Fertility tetralogy. It was published serially in Shinchō from 1965 to 1967, and then in book form in 1969. Mishima did extensive research, including visits to Enshō-ji in Nara, to prepare for the novel.

Review of 'Spring Snow' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Its a slow read but then ending is what really pulled me in. By the end of it I was flipping pages like a mad man.
It was a somber, subtle, and ultimately beautiful read, yet I would only recommend if one has the patience to get through it.
