In this paper, I discuss the characteristics of, and differences between Kawabata's literary work entitled "The Izu danser", with its "opened first person", and other Japanese "I-novels", based on "I". In particular, I compare and analyze the two types of novels focussing on their unusual points of view and objectification of "I". In conclusion, the characteristic of the "opened I" in "The Izu danser" is the change of "I" which can reach self-liberation (mental growth) through self-reflection and self-impurity experienced by objectification of "I".
