Snow country

This is a full set of small woodblock illustrations arranged in a grid (five rows of three, plus a bound cover), each panel framed with Japanese text and depicting scenes of daily life in a snowbound village: children warming themselves at a hearth, figures shoveling snow from a rooftop, a crowded tented market at night, men hauling a sled stacked with ice blocks, two figures ice-skating before a mountain, a face wrapped tightly in a pink hood against the cold, a dog-fighting scene watched by onlookers, and snow-piled houses under a starry sky, interspersed with decorative snowflake motifs and a navy cloth book cover stamped with plum blossoms and the title "雪國." The palette is dominated by muted ochre, grey, and brown with indigo blue and cream grounds, accented by small passages of red, pink, and yellow-green. This is Mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock), title Snow Country, by Jun'ichiro Sekino, year unknown.
