川端 康成（かわばた やすなり[注釈 2]、1899年〈明治32年〉6月14日 - 1972年〈昭和47年〉4月16日）は、日本の小説家・文芸評論家。日本芸術院会員、文化功労者、文化勲章受章者。1968年に日本人初のノーベル文学賞を受賞した。位階・勲等は正三位・勲一等。大正から昭和の戦前・戦後にかけて活躍した近現代日本文学を代表する作家の一人である。 ---------- Yasunari/Kōsei Kawabata (川端 康成, 11 June 1899 – 16 April 1972) was a Japanese novelist and short story writer whose spare, lyrical, subtly-shaded prose works won him the 1968 Nobel Prize in Literature, the first Japanese author to receive the award. His works have enjoyed broad international appeal and are still widely read.
