    Michio HoshinoArctic Odyssey:
    A Distant Northern Memory

    Michio Hoshino is a photographer whose work focused on Alaska’s great outdoors, wildlife, and local people. This photography collection book is available as a companion to this year’s Hobonichi Techo covers printed with Hoshino’s work: A6 size cover Harp Seal Pup and Wallet size Weeks planner Grizzly Mother and Cubs.



    This collection features photographs taken by Hoshino when he was stationed in Fairbanks, Alaska and spent a year traveling Alaska and the Arctic Circle in Canada. The book was originally published in 1994, and was Hoshino’s last book before his death in 1996 when he was attacked by a brown bear while on assignment in Kamchatka, Russia.



    This dynamic collection is split into 12 chapters, one for each month. You can see the changing seasons, with winter snowstorms, the spring warmth melting the snow, giant herds of caribou migrating in the summer, bright red forests in the autumn, and vast fields of snow when the winter returns. Many animals make their appearances in his work, such as polar bears, seals, whales, and caribou.
