Village Japan: The Four Seasons of Shimukappu

In the early 1990's, photographer DeVore recorded daily life through four seasons as lived in a single village located on Japan's northern island Hokkaido. "...as nature's seasonal procession unfolds, we experience the fullness of the life of a people -- how they work and play, how they share joy and sorrow, how they worship and nourish the spirit -- played out against a generous and supporting natural background...." -- Noel Brown.
