Announcing… Moon, Snow, Blossom: Wintry Tales From Across Japan by and !

Winter in Japan. A season of sudden snow and biting wind, whispering volcanoes and sun-tipped forests, of warrior monks and restless ghosts. A season to gather and delight in the ancient tales – to wash away the old year and usher in the new.

Moon, Snow, Blossom is full of wintry folklore that offers a glimpse into the shimmer and shiver of story traditions from across Japan. From wondrous creation myths to mischievous mountain spirits and eerie fox fires, from frost-bitten tales of the deep north to stories of foolhardy fishermen off the southern coast, join two friends on a journey through deep drifts of Japanese
heritage and culture.

Moon, Snow, Blossom weaves together story, poem, legend and lore to delight and surprise even the most knowledgeable Japanophile.

🗓 Out October 2026.
