a beautifully-made book containing photographs of and some words about serene winter landscapes: bare dark trees against a white background, their starkness softened by the haze of falling snow, and cool blue shadows dancing on a thick blanket of pristine snow taking on almost abstract forms, accompanied by brief poetic phrases in Japanese and, printed on small semi-transparent pages, English translations of these phrases, with a short artist biography in the back, soft cover, 17 x 26 cm, 38 not numbered pages, signed and numbered/600, Tokyo 2011
