The setting is the premodern Japanese countryside of the author’s youth, a slightlymagical world where ancestral traditions hold sway over a people in the full vigor of life, struggling to survive the harsh seasons and the difficult life of manual laborers and farmers. While the world they inhabit has faded into memory and myth, the universal fundamental emotions of the human heart prevail at the center of these tender stories. <BR><BR>Katsumata began publishing comic strips in the legendary avantgarde magazine <I>Garo</I> (which also published his contemporaries Yoshihiro Tatsumi and Yoshiharu Tsuge) in 1965 while enrolled in the Faculty of Science in Tokyo. He abandoned his studies in 1971 to become a professional comics artist, alternating the short humorous strips upon which he built his reputation with stories of a more personal nature in which he tenderly depicted the lives of peasants and farmers from his native region. In 2006, Katsumata won the 35th Japanese Cartoonists Association Award Grand Prize for <I>Red Snow</I>.</P></DIV> 6645933 book 11 2005 Red Snow total:3|5:0|4:0|3:1|2:2|1:0| 3 7 19 0 6455657 1897299869 9781897299869 3 0 2.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256863706m/6455657.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6455657-red-snow 0 0 false Mon Dec 14 11:54:28 -0800 2009 Mon Dec 14 11:54:28 -0800 2009 6455657 1897299869 9781897299869 3 0 2.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256863706m/6455657.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6455657-red-snow 0 0 false Sat Dec 05 17:57:36 -0800 2009 Sat Dec 05 17:57:36 -0800 2009 6455657 1897299869 9781897299869 3 0 2.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256863706m/6455657.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6455657-red-snow 0 0 false Mon Nov 09 17:53:15 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 17:53:15 -0800 2009 6455657 1897299869 9781897299869 3 0 2.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256863706m/6455657.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6455657-red-snow 0 0 false Fri Nov 06 04:28:00 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 04:28:00 -0800 2009 6455657 1897299869 9781897299869 3 0 2.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256863706m/6455657.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6455657-red-snow 0 0 false Thu Nov 05 11:03:26 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 11:03:26 -0800 2009 6455657 1897299869 9781897299869 3 0 2.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256863706m/6455657.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6455657-red-snow 3 0 false Sat Oct 31 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 17:31:16 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 17:31:31 -0700 2009 6455657 1897299869 9781897299869 3 0 2.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256863706m/6455657.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6455657-red-snow 0 0 false Thu Oct 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 17:43:30 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 17:43:50 -0700 2009 6455657 1897299869 9781897299869 3 0 2.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256863706m/6455657.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6455657-red-snow 0 0 false Sun Oct 25 20:41:48 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 20:41:51 -0700 2009 6455657 1897299869 9781897299869 3 0 2.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256863706m/6455657.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6455657-red-snow 0 0 false Fri Oct 16 13:52:11 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 16 13:52:11 -0700 2009 6455657 1897299869 9781897299869 3 0 2.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256863706m/6455657.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6455657-red-snow 0 0 false Fri Oct 16 09:27:54 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 16 09:28:04 -0700 2009 6455657 1897299869 9781897299869 3 0 2.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256863706m/6455657.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6455657-red-snow 2 0 false Sun Dec 13 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Oct 08 08:08:36 -0700 2009 Mon Dec 14 08:10:32 -0800 2009 6455657 1897299869 9781897299869 3 0 2.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256863706m/6455657.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6455657-red-snow 0 0 false Wed Oct 07 07:52:12 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 07 07:52:12 -0700 2009 6455657 1897299869 9781897299869 3 0 2.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256863706m/6455657.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6455657-red-snow 0 0 false Wed Oct 07 00:06:42 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 07 00:06:42 -0700 2009 6455657 1897299869 9781897299869 3 0 2.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256863706m/6455657.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6455657-red-snow 0 0 false Wed Sep 16 07:44:31 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 07:44:31 -0700 2009 6455657 1897299869 9781897299869 3 0 2.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256863706m/6455657.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6455657-red-snow 0 0 false Thu Sep 10 15:51:26 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 10 15:51:26 -0700 2009 6455657 1897299869 9781897299869 3 0 2.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256863706m/6455657.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6455657-red-snow 0 0 false Wed Sep 09 12:11:49 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 12:11:49 -0700 2009 6455657 1897299869 9781897299869 3 0 2.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256863706m/6455657.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6455657-red-snow 0 0 false Sat Aug 15 09:59:55 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 09:59:55 -0700 2009 6455657 1897299869 9781897299869 3 0 2.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256863706m/6455657.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6455657-red-snow 2 0 false Fri Aug 07 07:16:02 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 09 21:15:14 -0700 2009 6455657 1897299869 9781897299869 3 0 2.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256863706m/6455657.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6455657-red-snow 0 0 false Fri May 08 15:30:49 -0700 2009 Fri May 08 15:30:52 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6455657
