[Item description]
*Akita Customs: Winter Print Collection, Vol. 1* is a portfolio of polychrome woodblock prints released in 1932 by Tokushi Katsuhira (1904–1971), a printmaker who spent his entire life in Akita, continuously depicting the scenery and daily life of his native region. Created using the *sosaku-hanga* (creative print) method—where the artist handles the design, carving, and printing—this work encapsulates the harsh winters of snowy Akita, the warmth of the people\'s lives, and traditional local events across five prints. The collection includes: *Yukimuro* (snow cellar; the prototype for the New Year\'s *Kamakura* festival); *Fumitawara* (straw-woven footwear made from rice bales, used to pack down snow); *Bonden* (ritual offerings for a traditional festival marking the \"Little New Year\" in Akita); *Hakosori* (box-shaped sleds used to transport children or cargo over snowy roads); and *Hondeki-bo* (ceremonial poles used in unique New Year\'s folk rituals).
