About the Book
A winter journey in the North of Japan and Hokkaido. 2023
The white of the snow makes everything incidental disappear and transforms the landscape into a fairyland. Even ugliness seems bearable through reduction. Minimalism of nature. It seems as if the essence of things is revealed. Trees completely naked, reveal their true character without the leaves.
