A zen fable of
love and haiku.
‘Yuko Akita had two passions.
Haiku.
And snow.’
On coming of age,
Yuko is expected to become either a monk or a warrior.
He decides instead to become a poet. And to write poems about
snow. But to become a master poet he must also master the
arts of painting, and of music, and of calligraphy. And lastly,
the art of love…
‘A beautiful debut, a tale of mysterious
clarity, like the poetry which inspired it.’
