Recommended by Suzannah (Marketing and Communications Manager):
"A peaceful and somber look up into heavy clouds as snow begins to fall in rural Japan, Snow is Coming No. 2 is a window to a moment of soft but powerful emotion. Tanaka’s etching technique masterfully captures the quiet longing of dark days and first snow. He understood the relationship with nature represented in traditional Japanese architecture. Looking up at the thatched roof, it resembles a sloping mountainside while still remaining a warm and welcoming home."
