This edition of The Akitan has a little something for everyone. Snow sports lover? One of our contributors wrote a guide and review of the slopes. Interested in Japanese winter festivals? There's a plethora of photographs for you to enjoy of the Namahage Festival, Kamakura Festival, Hiburi Kamakura Festival and more; all in Akita Prefecture. Also featured are some light recipes with the arrival of spring. This issue is jam packed with good reads, so take your time to look through during this time of social distancing and quarantine.
