Akai Yuki

A series of brief narratives, crafted with care and expressed through quiet subtlety by the renowned Japanese illustrator Susumu Katsumata. The backdrop is the rural landscape of pre-modern Japan, a place shaped by the customs of earlier generations and the rhythms of hardworking farmers and laborers contending with tough living conditions and changing seasons. Though the environment described has become part of history and legend, the core emotions shared by people remain at the heart of these gentle tales.
