An autumn sunset at Minakami, a hot springs resort in Gunma, Japan. In the foreground, tall trees screen our view of the narrow Tone River; the tree branches are almost bare, having already shed most of their leaves. Beyond, on the far side of the river, lights are coming on in village houses tucked in under the forested mountainside. Above, the sky burns yellow and orange with the lateness of the day, while below, the Tone River is a strip of gold among gray stones, reflecting the sunset.

A bright yellow full moon rises over a stretch of the Katase River. Tall grasses line the riverbank on our side of the water; on the opposite bank, houses stand along stone embankments and a short pier. A single pilot steers a little boat along the river with a pole, while another small boat is tied up alongside the dock. Beyond the houses, past a shadowy tree-lined silhouette of a nearby hill, the full moon shines in a clear, starless night sky. The light of the moon and the lights shining in the windows of the houses reflect and scatter along the surface of the river.

A clear autumn day, looking toward a snow-capped Mount Fuji. In the foreground, a slow-moving river flows past; on the opposite bank, a high wall conceals all but the upper floor of a traditional thatched-roof house. Nearby, trees and grasses are golden yellow with the turning season. Further on, Mount Fuji dominates the view, its snowy peak reflected in the river below.

A bright autumn day on a farm in Ohara, near Kyoto, Japan. In the foreground, layers of farming terraces separated by stone retaining walls are filled with golden rice; the sheaves closest to us have been cut and hung to dry on racks, while just beyond, a trio of farm workers continues to harvest the crop.

On our right, a cow pauses by a cleared paddy, observing the humans' progress. Beyond, a cluster of traditional thatched-roof buildings stands next to a small lake; further on, a line of evergreens underscores the hazy shapes of mountains in the distance.

On our right, our view is framed by tall pine trees growing on top of a solid stone embankment; up ahead, a lone pedestrian carrying an umbrella approaches the red-lacqured bridge crossing the gorge.

A trio of small wooden fishing boats heads out to sea over the mellow waves; the boats and their crews are reduced to silhouettes as they head into a dense bank of fog.
