Ãߤì¤ëÃÀÅ® = Nemureru bijo = House of the Sleeping Beauties, Yasunari Kawabata
House of the Sleeping Beauties is a 1961 novella by the Japanese author Yasunari Kawabata. It is a story about a lonely man, Old Eguchi, who continuously visits the House of the Sleeping Beauties in hope of something more.
The titular house is an establishment where old men pay to sleep besides young girls that had been narcotized and happen to be naked, the sleeping beauties. The old men are expected to take sleeping pills and share the bed for a whole night with a girl without attempting anything of "bad taste" like "putting a finger inside their mouths".
Eguchi is presented with a different girl each time he visits the house because of the short notice of his visits. He discovers that all girls are virgins which somehow compels him to comply with the house rules. Each girl is different and the descriptions of his actions are mixed with the dreams that he has sleeping besides the girls.

This is a novella, of the title, and two short stories. I have read five of Kawabata¡¯s novels and a collection of short stories but these three stories are unlike anything I have previously read of his. All of these have an erotic flavor and one is science fiction. The blurbs call the stories erotic fantasy underlaid with longing and memories of past loves
In the title story, Sleeping Beauties, the action surely ranks up there with the doings of 'dirty old men.' Elderly men, ¡°who aren¡¯t men anymore,¡± visit a brothel where they can sleep for the night with drugged, unconscious virgins in their teens and early twenties. As he sleeps with them, the main character reflects back on women and loves he has had in the past. There¡¯s a shocking ending.
In One Arm, the science fiction story, I¡¯ll just give you the opening lines: ¡° ¡®I can let you have one of my arms for the night,¡¯ said the girl. She took off her right arm at the shoulder and, with her left hand, laid it at my knee.¡±
In the story Of Birds and Beasts, a man is obsessed with his pet birds and dogs. Being anti-social, he obviously prefers their company to humans. You can tell his maid thinks he¡¯s nuts. You imagine he has a loving relationship with these animals ¨C yes, with most -- but he also has a streak of cruelty toward them.
All three stories are disturbing, chilling, bordering on horror. A bit Stephen Kingish-ish. But good stories and, as I said at the beginning, unlike the tone of his novels I have read.
Kawabata was the first Japanese writer to win a Nobel Prize (1968). He was a mentor to Yukio Mishima, who wrote the introduction to this collection, and like Mishima may have committed suicide.

I value the books whose plot has managed to stay etched in my mind. Some of the novels I've read are pleasant, but they are soon forgotten. The ones that shape me and teach me are the most valued, of course; but I keep a special place for those that I remember. Kawabata's story is one of those. And incidentally, it talks about memory, among other things. It also speaks about the fear of death and the desire to prolong one's life through the elixir of youth; about regrets and unfulfilled desires wept at the feet of high priestesses; about the wish for peace and reconciliation with one's life.
In a peculiar house, which can't really be called a brothel, beautiful virgins lie in deep slumber, naked, innocent and unconscious. Old men come to lie down beside them, awake, troubled, full of desire. They can't harm the virgins, they are not allowed to wake them. They can only touch their bodies and sleep beside them. Such defenseless bodies and oblivious minds, at the whims and mercy of old men. If you look at the picture this way, the story might make you feel contempt; and yet, it has a beautiful and poetic vein, despite its grain of ugliness.
From ancient times, old men had sought to use the scent given off by girls as an elixir of youth.
Eguchi comes to the house lured by this strange kind of pleasure. On a couple of nights, in the enclosed space of a room, he contemplates the obedient, exposed bodies of the young girls. Deep slumber is reminiscent of death in a way; in their sleep, some of the girls seemed more alive than others. Life was there, most definitely, in her scent, in her touch, in the way she moved. Eguchi experiences an array of feelings and memories awaken by the sounds, the smells and the sights. He remembers his youth, his children, the women he had affairs with. He fights with melancholy, with unhappiness, but also with the urge to do harm.
In their hearts, as they lay against the flesh of naked young girls put to sleep, would be more than fear of approaching death and regret for their lost youth. There might also be remorse, and the turmoil so common in the families of the successful. They would have no Buddha before whom to kneel. The naked girl would know nothing, would not open her eyes, if one of the old men were to hold her tight in his arms, shed cold tears, even sob and wail. The old man need feel no shame, no damage to his pride. The regrets and the sadness could flow quite freely. And might not the 'sleeping beauty' herself be a Buddha of sorts? And she was flesh and blood. Her young skin and scent might be forgiveness for the sad old men.
The story impressed me to such an extent that it entered the realm of my dreams. I have one short but weird story to tell, and I write it here because I want to remember it over the years. One night, after reading the story, I woke up with the feeling that somebody was lying awake behind me, watching me in the dark, keeping a hand on my breast. I felt slightly frightened but then I fell asleep again, or maybe I was never awake in the first place. In the morning I woke up confused, because I wasn't sure if what I remembered had been a dream or reality. When I asked my boyfriend about it, he said he had been sound asleep the whole night. Weird. And yet it felt so vivid, like a lucid dream...
The strange thing about all this is that the scene I experienced is also happening in the novel. It felt like I was projected inside the sleeping girl's mind. Like I was perceiving through her skin, through her senses, even though they seemed to be asleep. Maybe they weren't, maybe she could sense what was happening to her. An unconscious yet alert consciousness.
Well, I couldn't write this review without confessing the connection I had with the story.
My review is only for House of the Sleeping Beauties. If you read this, then you should also consider and see how M¨¢rquez made use of the idea behind Kawabata's story.
In a peculiar house, which can't really be called a brothel, beautiful virgins lie in deep slumber, naked, innocent and unconscious. Old men come to lie down beside them, awake, troubled, full of desire. They can't harm the virgins, they are not allowed to wake them. They can only touch their bodies and sleep beside them. Such defenseless bodies and oblivious minds, at the whims and mercy of old men. If you look at the picture this way, the story might make you feel contempt; and yet, it has a beautiful and poetic vein, despite its grain of ugliness.
From ancient times, old men had sought to use the scent given off by girls as an elixir of youth.
Eguchi comes to the house lured by this strange kind of pleasure. On a couple of nights, in the enclosed space of a room, he contemplates the obedient, exposed bodies of the young girls. Deep slumber is reminiscent of death in a way; in their sleep, some of the girls seemed more alive than others. Life was there, most definitely, in her scent, in her touch, in the way she moved. Eguchi experiences an array of feelings and memories awaken by the sounds, the smells and the sights. He remembers his youth, his children, the women he had affairs with. He fights with melancholy, with unhappiness, but also with the urge to do harm.
In their hearts, as they lay against the flesh of naked young girls put to sleep, would be more than fear of approaching death and regret for their lost youth. There might also be remorse, and the turmoil so common in the families of the successful. They would have no Buddha before whom to kneel. The naked girl would know nothing, would not open her eyes, if one of the old men were to hold her tight in his arms, shed cold tears, even sob and wail. The old man need feel no shame, no damage to his pride. The regrets and the sadness could flow quite freely. And might not the 'sleeping beauty' herself be a Buddha of sorts?

How easy is it to see this little book as the fruit of a perverted mind? Indeed, 'House of the Sleeping Beauties' apparently is nothing more than the disturbing story of an old man who frequents a brothel where he is allowed to sleep with numbed, naked girls, all virgins. He may touch them, but no more than that. Let's be honest, this does stimulate the imagination, however sickly you may find it. By the way, Kawabata does not shy away from moral ambiguity: he makes his protagonist, the old, almost impotent Eguchi, consciously think about the morbid character of his behaviour.
But I don't think that's the main thrust of this story. Kawabata has the old man accurately describe all his nighttime observations and sensations, the attractive forms of the girls, the light falling on their skin, the warmth or freshness of their bodies, the sounds and movements they make in their numb sleep, and so on. In Eguchi, moreover, this awakens numerous memories of childhood sweethearts, mistresses, own daughters, and that also sets in motion a train of musings about what has been, and what could have been, inevitably ending up at the prospect of imminent death, his or the girl's (because will that ever wake up?). Apparently, there is still enough erotic power in the old man to fantasize about what he could do with the girls, and what the consequences of that could be. The old man's thoughts dart back and forth between instantaneous observations, memories, desires and possible actions and events, in short ¡°an entire life¡± with all its ephemeral and opaque characteristics.
Thus, it seems to me that we should read this story primarily as an allegory, where the numbed girls are no more than instrumental metaphors for life itself, against which we snuggle ourselves, which we try to manipulate, with which we can reach ecstatic heights and miserable depths, which challenges us and at the same time remains inaccessible. I know, it's still perverse and disturbing what Kawabata has done here. But at the same time, this story is of a surprising depth and beauty.

Second reading. I have no memory of the first, which is unusual for me.
In ¡°House of the Sleeping Beauties¡± an elderly man frequents a house near the sea where he sleeps with attractive young unclothed women who¡¯ve been heavily sedated.
In ¡°One Arm¡± a man borrows a girlfriend¡¯s limb for the night and takes it to his room where he tries it on for size; it talks to him and comments on the decor.
In ¡°Of Birds and Bees,¡± an animal fancier, perhaps unintentionally, kills many birds and dogs in pursuit of a kind of lonely oneness with nature.

Many years ago, I spent one dollar at a library book sale on a book I had never heard of, , by an author I had never heard of, Yasunari Kawabata. I¡¯m not sure what attracted me. Surprisingly, I read it. It lodged itself in my mind. It made me feel outside of the world. It did not occur to me to seek out more books by Kawabata. Why would it? Does a bittersweet vacation in Rome demand that you take your next vacation in Florence? I returned, I think¡ªif I have the event rightly placed in my reading life¡ªto Octavia Butler, then an obsession.
Last fall, House of the Sleeping Beauties came across my goodreads feed, and I thought: Snow Country! and took it out of the library. All winter, it waited patiently in a stack of library books. Now it is spring. Surprisingly, I read it.
It is an ugly, lovely, questionable book. I did not find it very disturbing¡ªbut that in itself is disturbing. It is convincingly enough about death that it is hard to get worked up about its failure to consider so much of life. I don¡¯t know that I want to say much more. That is why I have written this review that is not a review, I guess.

¡°The aged have death and the young have love, and death comes once, and love comes over and over again¡±.
To love is a game of a brave heart. To die; a desire of a sullen heart; a definite verb for the inevitable. Akin to the broken heart sitting by the sea, pleading the waves to carry it like a child; the loneliness of old age seeks the black sleet of death. The ¡°ugliness of old age¡± that whispered in , roars in this book like the stormy waves Eguchi hears as he nestles in supple breasts of youth. A virginal body of a maiden in the pristine state as the day she was born, slept peacefully as it teased Eguchi¡¯s aged physicality. Day after day, the smell of the untainted youth in all its unfazed beauty, the warmth and the tenderness of an unpolluted woman brought a surge of sorrow in Eguchi¡¯s empty existence. The symbolic virginal magnificence encompasses both the freedom of an unadulterated youth and the possibility of its violation.
Had he not come to this house seeking the ultimate in the ugliness of old age.....¡±
Why did it seem like Eguchi¡¯s existence was somehow vacant? He had lived a full life, as living would be defined. Like Shingo (Sound of the Mountain), he was a father, husband and a grandfather and had his share of affairs, yet when he slept besides the naked ¡®sleeping beauties¡¯ hearing the ocean, a beauty whom he could not violate , Eguchi was claustrophobic by the chaos of his own emotions. What makes a man to lose the very being of his existence for a woman? Is a penile erection the only viable proof for a man¡¯s existence? In the fight between the old and the young, at which point does a man find himself standing on the edge of humanity and inhumanity? Does the impotency of old age find an illusionary sanctuary in the potency of the youth?
True to his beliefs in Zen Philosophy, Kawabata puts the idea of ; the emptiness that becomes necessary for a man to achieve freedom from emotional corruptibility. But, the author being known for his brilliance in the sinister caricatures of the deepest human sentimentalities uses his protagonists¡¯ (Eguchi, Kikuji, Gimpei. etc...) minds as the prime internal sensitive organ by showing the desperation of achieving the ¡®purity of life¡¯ through haunting ideas of eroticisms and death. The menacing sorrow of loneliness suffered by all the actors in this novel comes from the emptiness of being unable to achieve the ¡®unattainable¡¯. To sleep like a child, serene, devoid of monstrous dreams is a novelty to a restless mind. To sleep with no dreams, no guilt, no trepidation; to sleep like the dead. The man who never knew the feeling of a tender, sweet sleep until, the warm, clean blood from a round and plump womanly arm flowed through his veins. However, in that blissful moment, the idea of his filth soiling the wholesomeness of another life form repulsed his existence at that very moment.
¡°The clean blood of the girl was now, this very moment, flowing through me, but would there not be unpleasantness when the arm was returned to the girl, this dirty male blood flowing through it?¡±(One Arm)
Through morbidness of death festers the thought of contemplative possession of death. In ¡®Of Birds and the Beasts¡¯, the misanthropic living of the protagonists, again reflect and urge to achieve the unattainable ¨C purity of life in its true form. It seems that the birth of animals brought elation to the protagonists as it was an ¡°untainted life¡±, with no mistakes and then when by putting the young ones with the old ones, the stark differences of life stages, brought certain viciousness to the permutation of events that made seem like a salvation from a foreseeable ugliness of life.
¡°Husbands and wives, parents and children, brothers and sisters, the bonds were not easily cut even with the most unsatisfactory people¡±..... ¡°On the other hand a certain sad purity in making playthings of lives and the habits of animals¡±...."
The commotion that arises from the man¡¯s desperate need to breed and kill animals once again delineates the lingering theme of passivity of a vacant existence of human conscious that sometimes shatter the fine line between humane and inhumane environments.
What are memories? They are reflections of our past actions, the passivity of existence that metamorphoses into inexhaustible shame.

To love is a game of a brave heart. To die; a desire of a sullen heart; a definite verb for the inevitable. Akin to the broken heart sitting by the sea, pleading the waves to carry it like a child; the loneliness of old age seeks the black sleet of death. The ¡°ugliness of old age¡± that whispered in , roars in this book like the stormy waves Eguchi hears as he nestles in supple breasts of youth. A virginal body of a maiden in the pristine state as the day she was born, slept peacefully as it teased Eguchi¡¯s aged physicality. Day after day, the smell of the untainted youth in all its unfazed beauty, the warmth and the tenderness of an unpolluted woman brought a surge of sorrow in Eguchi¡¯s empty existence. The symbolic virginal magnificence encompasses both the freedom of an unadulterated youth and the possibility of its violation.
Had he not come to this house seeking the ultimate in the ugliness of old age.....¡±
Why did it seem like Eguchi¡¯s existence was somehow vacant? He had lived a full life, as living would be defined. Like Shingo (Sound of the Mountain), he was a father, husband and a grandfather and had his share of affairs, yet when he slept besides the naked ¡®sleeping beauties¡¯ hearing the ocean, a beauty whom he could not violate , Eguchi was claustrophobic by the chaos of his own emotions. What makes a man to lose the very being of his existence for a woman? Is a penile erection the only viable proof for a man¡¯s existence? In the fight between the old and the young, at which point does a man find himself standing on the edge of humanity and inhumanity? Does the impotency of old age find an illusionary sanctuary in the potency of the youth?
True to his beliefs in Zen Philosophy, Kawabata puts the idea of ; the emptiness that becomes necessary for a man to achieve freedom from emotional corruptibility. But, the author being known for his brilliance in the sinister caricatures of the deepest human sentimentalities uses his protagonists¡¯ (Eguchi, Kikuji, Gimpei. etc...) minds as the prime internal sensitive organ by showing the desperation of achieving the ¡®purity of life¡¯ through haunting ideas of eroticisms and death. The menacing sorrow of loneliness suffered by all the actors in this novel comes from the emptiness of being unable to achieve the ¡®unattainable¡¯. To sleep like a child, serene, devoid of monstrous dreams is a novelty to a restless mind. To sleep with no dreams, no guilt, no trepidation; to sleep like the dead. The man who never knew the feeling of a tender, sweet sleep until, the warm, clean blood from a round and plump womanly arm flowed through his veins. However, in that blissful moment, the idea of his filth soiling the wholesomeness of another life form repulsed his existence at that very moment.
¡°The clean blood of the girl was now, this very moment, flowing through me, but would there not be unpleasantness when the arm was returned to the girl, this dirty male blood flowing through it?¡±(One Arm)
Through morbidness of death festers the thought of contemplative possession of death. In ¡®Of Birds and the Beasts¡¯, the misanthropic living of the protagonists, again reflect and urge to achieve the unattainable ¨C purity of life in its true form. It seems that the birth of animals brought elation to the protagonists as it was an ¡°untainted life¡±, with no mistakes and then when by putting the young ones with the old ones, the stark differences of life stages, brought certain viciousness to the permutation of events that made seem like a salvation from a foreseeable ugliness of life.
¡°Husbands and wives, parents and children, brothers and sisters, the bonds were not easily cut even with the most unsatisfactory people¡±..... ¡°On the other hand a certain sad purity in making playthings of lives and the habits of animals¡±...."
The commotion that arises from the man¡¯s desperate need to breed and kill animals once again delineates the lingering theme of passivity of a vacant existence of human conscious that sometimes shatter the fine line between humane and inhumane environments.
What are memories? They are reflections of our past actions, the passivity of existence that metamorphoses into inexhaustible shame. Kawabata emphasizes on this factor of human mind to accentuate the relationship of an individual with the existential world. The reflections of our past, the mistakes of our life, always come running back at the brink of death. And then, how we desperately yearn for that impossible chance of grabbing our youth, even for a briefest moment, to relive a clean existence. An impossible chance to experience youth shamelessly. What if? The toughest part about life is living it.

I've got mixed feeling about this book. The first story was okay, with some good messages that the author had to share about the fear of getting old and the way people experience their sexuality. Though, the base of this story was repeated tiringly too much, with the old man visiting the place with the sleeping girls too much for it to keep being interesting. Actually, in the end, the author didn't have anything new to add when the man was recalling old lovers or observing the girls' bodies. Then again, there was the second story. All I can say about it is this : What have I just read?!? The whole arm thing was wierd and never actually explained. Finally, the third story was nice, with the man and his pets, an easy read after the two others. So, 2 out of 5.

I have stayed away from Kawabata until now, out of some misguided belief that he is too gloomy, too downbeat, even suicidal. I am glad to be proven wrong, and to add another literary master to my future reading plans. I started with this novella both because it is a teaser / sampler of his style and because the synopsis sounded like a good companion piece to Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Memories of My Melancholy Whores .
The thematic is indeed similar: old men searching for the company of young women in bawdy houses, an occasion for reminiscing about past loves and about the coming of the final sleep. I love though how the personality of each writer and their cultural background are reflected in their respective prose. Marquez protagonist is earthy, passionate, even lubric in his eroticism, still bubbling with life at the age of 90. Old Eguchi, as he is described throughout the novella, is 'only' 67, is much more conscious of the approaching finnish line, not obsessed, but definitely preoccupied with thoughts of death. He is also restrained, analytical, introverted. Maybe contemplative is the closest atribute that defines him, a favorite pastime in Japan. Instead of Zen gardens with raked white sand, picturescue stones and bubbling brooks, Old Eguchi meditations are initiated by the proximity of bare naked young virgins, put to sleep for the convenience of old geezers with money to pay for the privilege.
Because the girl would not awaken, the aged guests need not feel the shame of their years. They were quite free to indulge in unlimited dreams and memories of woman. Was that not why they felt no hesitation at paying more than for woman awake?
I asked myself what I would do if I were offered a treat like that, and my instincts tell me I wouldn't go for it. Consensual relationship are still the norm in my book. But I'm not Japanese, and I don't really know if I would feel the same 20 years from now. In the meantime, I extend to Old Eguchi the benefit of doubt before condemning his lecherous ways, and follow his stream of conscience musings about women and love, youth and loneliness.
They were a strange light at the bottom of a deep darkness.
Eguchi is alone now, but as he gazes at, fondles and smells the young bodies beside him, we find out he has had a full life, with wife, grown up children, lovers and even casual sex encounters. He looks at his past with some regrets about 'the ones that got away' but without bitterness. Nostalgia and resignation are the major tonalities of his account, spiced with his own brand of fascination for the carnal aspects of love. Each girl he meets in the little room draped in crimson velvet curtains and bathed in moonlight, is different from the previous one, uniquely attractive, each triggering a different kind of memory. The novella becomes in this more of a celebration of beauty and womanhood than a sexploitation piece:
For Eguchi when he came to this house, there was nothing more beautiful than a young face in dreamless sleep. Might it be called the sweetest consolation to be found in this world?
The French say : Vive la difference! . Old Eguchi becomes aware than in his long life he has barely begun to understand women, and his regrets issue more from an awareness of the little time he has now left to continue his study:
Woman is infinite, thought the older man, with a touch of sadness.
There is no plot and precious little dialogue. But the prose is exquisite in its studied simplicity and in its elegance. I wish I was more familiar with symbols and metaphors specific to the Japanese culture, because I feel every gust of wind, every crashing of waves on the shore, every fallen petal from a blooming magnolia tree, every hand gesture from a sleeping girl, is a code for an emotion or a literary reference. I get a similar feeling from looking at albums of old Chinese and Japanese woodcut prints and from watching a movie by Yasusiro Ozu. I mentioned him because my favorite flashback scene is between Old Eguchi and his youngest, most dearly loved daughter. In an echo of the Late Spring script, the father has to give his young girl in marriage and takes a last trip with her to the temples in Kyoto, where they meditate in silence in front of a four hundred years old flowering tree. Are their thought in tune or at cross-currents? We don't know. The only certainty is the loneliness of the old man left behind:
Although she lived in Tokyo, the daughter seldom came to see them after she was married.
"How are you?"
"How am I? Happy, I suppose."
Despite the shortness of the text, I am left with a lot of emotions to sift through and some moral dillemas to chew on. Mission accomplished for mr. Kawabata, who will probably see me again strolling through his lonely landscapes of mountain, sea, temple, moonlight. And even if the novella turned out to be morbid after all, I have come out of it with a more hopeful message than I expected:
The aged have death, and the young have love, and death comes once, and love comes over and over again.
Live goes on, with or without us.

November 5, 2015
Recently, I have found myself daydreaming about my past partners, specifically the most intimate moments; not for masturbatory purposes, nor because I long to go back and be with those girls, but because I find the openness, the opportunity that was afforded me in those moments, extraordinary. That someone would let me, would want me to caress their bare skin, or kiss their thigh, still stuns me. Then it occurs to me, while wandering through these pointless daydreams, that someday the skin I once caressed will be shrivelled and sagging and old, and I am forced to acknowledge to myself that my own will be too, and that the desire to plant those types of kisses will seem ridiculous, if it even exists within me at all; and that likewise, the desire to be kissed by me will exist in fewer and fewer women.
In House of the Sleeping Beauties Japanese Nobel laureate Yasunari Kawabata explores many of these same feelings, focussing on memory, death, old age, eroticism, innocence etc. Eguchi, a sixty-seven year old man, arrives at a house, that is something like a brothel, where one can pay so as to be allowed to sleep beside a young woman. And by sleep we mean sleep. The girls have been put under before you enter the room, and will not wake no matter what you do. Yet visitors must not engage in any ¡®funny stuff,¡¯ such as putting a finger in a girl¡¯s mouth. It is only by behaving yourself that you will become a trusted customer. One of these trusted customers is Kega, who introduced Eguchi to the place, and who he describes as being so old that he is ¡®no longer a man.¡¯ It is not made explicit in the text but it is clear that what he means by this, at least in part, is that he can no longer have sex, and so he is of course no threat to the girls in the house, he is no threat to any woman anywhere.
Eguchi, although advanced in years, is not quite in the same situation; he is shocked by how beautiful the first girl is, and that shock, you could say, is the stirring of desire, a sign of life, of vitality. Moreover, he wants to violently rouse her, indicating that he isn¡¯t ready yet to give up on life, to settle for a living toy, and get his kicks only in his mind. As is often the case with Kawabata¡¯s work, the natural world could be said to further illuminate the author¡¯s themes and mirror the main character¡¯s emotional and mental state. Once inside the room Eguchi notes that the wind is bringing the sound of approaching winter, and winter is of course the final season of the year, the one that we would most associate with death, with barrenness, with unhappiness. The old man also hears the sound of crashing waves, which, again, suggests life and vitality, and even rage.
Tellingly, Kega confesses to Eguchi that it is only when sleeping beside one of the girls that he feels alive, which hints at the special allure of the house. The girls are not simply there to provide a passive kind of companionship. That could be got in any number of ways. The girls act as a reminder, they ferry the old men back to a time when they were in reality going to bed beside young women or at least when there was the possibility of doing so; they make the men feel young again, helping them to forget that they are eyeballing death¡because who can think about the end when there is a beautiful, naked young woman in bed with you? Bearing in mind the emotional and physical state of these men, it is also important that the girls themselves are non-threatening; if they are not awake they cannot judge, even silently, and there can be no awkward conversation, no expectations, and no obvious, embarrassing generational gap. It is only when they are asleep that the fantasy can be maintained.
[Baron Raimond von Stillfried - Sleeping Japanese Woman 1870]
Had Eguchi been a Kega, had his experience of the house been as entirely positive, the story would not be as interesting as it is. Certainly in the beginning, far from finding peace in the situation, he feels disquieted by it, as indicated by the poem he recites to himself, which references drowned corpses. Moreover, one of the women is referred to as a ¡®phantom.¡¯ This could be understood as a reference to her white, unblemished skin, but the real significance of this comparison is in the girls being, like the men themselves, somewhere between life and death. Sleep, which is often called the cousin of death, is a strange intermediary stage between the two states of being, having much in common with both. The sleeping beauties are, in a way, like corporeal, touchable memories or fantasies; they are malleable, supple; they can be manipulated into being anything [imaginatively, not literally]. Sex dolls work in much the same way, in that anything can be projected onto them.
Yet, as with all great literature, it is possible to see more in the story than the specific situation Kawabata describes. Making my way through it for the second time I was put in mind of Jeffrey Dahmer, who claimed that he zombified his victims so that they wouldn¡¯t run away or refuse him. One could, therefore, interpret House of the Sleeping Beauties as a comment on human neediness, a neediness that isn¡¯t limited to the elderly. Also, more could be made of what I was discussing above, in relation to sex dolls. It is becoming increasingly the case that men [and women too perhaps] don¡¯t want and cannot handle real people; what they want is something perfect, something visually clean and pure, something always obliging. You need only look at the popularity of the dead-eyed, plastic princesses of porn; these women always look great, are never unavailable, and, crucially, do not ask anything from you. In contrast, reality is icky, it is disappointing; real people disagree with you sometimes, they have their own desires and demands.

House of the Sleeping Beauties usually comes packaged with two other stories, One Arm and Of Birds and Beasts, which are much shorter. Both are fine, but I did not feel compelled to write about either of them.
In House of the Sleeping Beauties Japanese Nobel laureate Yasunari Kawabata explores many of these same feelings, focussing on memory, death, old age, eroticism, innocence etc. Eguchi, a sixty-seven year old man, arrives at a house, that is something like a brothel, where one can pay so as to be allowed to sleep beside a young woman. And by sleep we mean sleep. The girls have been put under before you enter the room, and will not wake no matter what you do. Yet visitors must not engage in any ¡®funny stuff,¡¯ such as putting a finger in a girl¡¯s mouth. It is only by behaving yourself that you will become a trusted customer. One of these trusted customers is Kega, who introduced Eguchi to the place, and who he describes as being so old that he is ¡®no longer a man.¡¯ It is not made explicit in the text but it is clear that what he means by this, at least in part, is that he can no longer have sex, and so he is of course no threat to the girls in the house, he is no threat to any woman anywhere.
¡°A poetess who had died young of cancer had said in one of her poems that for her, on sleepless nights, ¡®the night offers toads and black dogs and corpses of the drowned.¡±
