Description
Snow, a novel by Maxence Fermine, is set in 1884 on the Island of Hokkaid in Japan. Yuko Akita, about to turn seventeen, chooses an unconventional path: poetry instead of warrior or monk. His haiku poems celebrate the beauty of snow and become his sole focus.
When the Imperial Poet visits, he suggests that Yuko study with the great artist Soseki to learn color for his poems. This journey takes Yuko across Japan, where he encounters a mysterious woman frozen in ice. Her vision changes his life forever.
The story is a beautiful and inspiring tale of love, art, and self-discovery, as Yuko learns about colour from the master artist Soseki and finds his own path.
