Snow country
"Snow Country" is a novel by Yasunari Kawabata (1899 – 1972, Nobel Prize for Literature in 1968). "Snow country" is a literal translation of the Japanese title "Yukiguni". The name comes from the place where the story takes place, where Shimamura arrives in a train coming through a long tunnel under the border mountains between Gunma and Niigata Prefectures. more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_Country
