In late 2011 Akiko Sudo visited Aomori, in northern Japan, and returned intermittently throughout the winter until January 2025 to walk across the prefecture and photograph its landscapes. Her pictures of snow-buried villages, snow-flattened landscapes and life persisting in spite of winter convey a comforting sense of warmth, as if the visually simplified winter scenes invite a gentler, more grounded way of life, while also carrying a layered complexity that unfolds through the series. The title, written with the characters for seven and snow, hints at the different types of snow that have fallen in Aomori for centuries.
