Japan the Beautiful and Myself ~ 15 February 2026

I am looking for reders to form a readers group to read Japan the Beautiful and Myself by Yasunari Kawabata. Published by Kodansha International 1968 ISBN 0-87011-088-8 This is the text of Kawabata’s Nobel Prize acceptance address written in collaboration with his translator Edward Seidensticker and read by Seidensticker to the Swedish Academy and the King Gustave VI of Sweden.
I am also looking for copies of the book to borrow or buy for the readers group once the group is ready to go.
