Alaska, surrounded by vast land and sea, where the seasons turn precisely. From the time I first set foot in Alaska in 1978 at the age of 26, I spent my days taking photographs of its beautiful yet harsh nature and the lives of its animals. Within that, I encountered the lives of the Alaskan indigenous people and the white settlers who came during the pioneering era, their lives and deaths intertwined. These are written in quiet and deeply flavorful words. Includes 33 essays such as "A New Journey," "Spring's Message," "Wolf," "Ocean Current," "White Night," "Searching for Totem Poles," "Kiska," "Caribou Soup," "Eskimo Olympics," and "Night Flight."
