"In 'Yuki Sakura', Risaku Suzuki presents two quintessential Japanese subjects--snowfall and cherry blossoms--in a manner that is at once timeless and refreshingly new. 'Yuki Sakura' opens with photographs of snowflakes drifting weightlessly in a deep blue Hokkaido night sky. These are followed by high-key landscapes of freshly-fallen snow bathed in morning light, punctuated by the merest suggestions of trees rising above the white drifts. The book ends in a crescendo of cherry blossoms against a backdrop of the branches from which they burst forth; the use of extreme selective focus in these last photographs softens the flowers into light pink cloud-forms, creating a full circle"--Publisher's description.
