Bruce Percy | Sound of Snow | Black Slipcase Edition
Bruce Percy | Sound of Snow | Black Slipcase Edition
Images from Hokkaido
“Often as I walked towards my subjects, I could swear I could hear the sound of snow. Everything around me became more closed in, more intimate”
A retrospective of Bruce’s Hokkaido images, shot in the depths of winter over the past six years. Contained within the book are 85 colour images, with an attention to subtle shade and light. Often captured during snowstorms, or in extremely delicate light, Bruce came to Hokkaido looking for symmetry and balance and found that it was a great teacher in simplification, patience and subtlety of tone.

The Oncoming of Long Winter
It was bright outside when I woke in the morning
I felt quite glad and opened my curtain
Changing dramatically from withered land
Fresh snow blanketed in white
The boy I was, quick put on long boots and rushed outside
Time flies and my Hokkaido life has been over half a century
And here I am
Still in love with Hokkaido
Tsuyoshi Kato
