Set in northern Honshu in 1902 and based on an actual incident, this is the account of a military training mission gone horribly and tragically wrong as a result of poor planning, bureaucratic interference, and bad luck. In the winter of 1902, 210 soldiers were ordered to cross the snow-bound slopes of Mount Hakkoda to test their military strength in anticipation of a Russian invasion. The author`s precise descriptions of the terror of the snow and the cold epitomize the detached lyricism so highly admired in all Japanese fiction. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
