Snowbound in Japan




This is one of my favorite photo spreads published by the New York Times. The photo shoot takes place in Akita Prefecture on Japan's Honshu Island. Akita Prefecture is known for Lake Tazawa and the Akita women. It's been said that Akita women are renowned for their porcelain white skin, rounded faces, and high voices, traits that are considered highly desirable. Something also worth noting: Akita has the highest consumption of sake in Japan.
