A stunning new English translation--the first in more than forty years--of a major novel by the father of modern Japanese fiction

Natsume Soseki's Kusamakura--meaning "grass pillow"--follows its nameless young artist-narrator on a meandering walking tour of the mountains. At the inn at a hot spring resort, he has a series of mysterious encounters with Nami, the lovely young daughter of the establishment. Nami, or "beauty," is the center of this elegant novel, the still point around which the artist moves and the enigmatic subject of Soseki's word painting. In the author's words, Kusamakura is "a haiku-style novel, that lives through beauty." Written at a time when Japan was opening its doors to the rest of the world, Kusamakura turns inward, to the pristine mountain idyll and the taciturn lyricism of its courtship scenes, enshrining the essence of old Japan in a work of enchanting literary nostalgia.

Loved it
Made my daughter's hair softer even after one use. I rnjoy that its only plant based. Feels soft and silky while in hand and spreads easily through hair. Very affordable and lasts a long time.

excellent product, excellent results
This was one of my best purchases. I still buy it. Usually, you can't find baby conditioner. It leaves your baby's hair very soft and smells incredible. If your baby has slightly curly hair, it's excellent, and if it's not curly, too

Nice conditioner
I used this conditioner with the shampoo it goes with and I thought it worked well. I liked the smell of the conditioner better than the smell of the shampoo. It really moisturized my daughter's hair, but did not make it greasy. I think it works better if you get as much water off of the hair before you add in the conditioner. I shake my daughter's hair out and dry it a bit with a towel before adding in the conditioner. Then I let it sit on her hair for a bit before rinsing it out.
