Spring in a mountain village somewhere in Japan. Villagers in broad bamboo hats plant rice in a flooded paddy; beyond, farmhouses stand tucked in among trees at the base of the mountains. Further on, the forested peaks of mountains are obscured by mist. Above, the sky is pale blue with a few stray clouds passing by.

A view looking up at the five-story pagoda in Tokyo's Ueno Park, screened by branches of cherry trees full of blossoms. Parallel rows of stone lanterns line a narrow walkway at the base of the fenced-off pagoda; a pair of female figures pause on the path, one folding her umbrella closed. Puddles on the ground hint at a recent rain, while the sky above is overcast.

A spring rain falls at Hokan-ji Temple in Kyoto. A single female figure carries a bamboo umbrella in one hand and a small wrapped package in the other as she crosses the temple grounds; on her way, she passes beneath a cherry tree in full bloom. In the background, the famous five-story Yasaka Pagoda stands tall against the gloomy overcast sky.

A view of the front door of a Japanese-style house on a bright sunny day in early spring. Snow is piled up at the doorstep, while snow melts and and drips as it slides off the roof above. The sliding front door is slightly ajar. A rectangular birdcage is suspended from a bamboo pole just outside the door; a small bird is inside the cage, getting some sunshine and fresh air.

A view looking down a narrow lane in Minakami on a snowy winter's day. Tall stone foundations create a wall on our left; the blank side of a building stands on our right. The lane is deserted, but a rough track cleared in the snow on the ground tells of earlier foot traffic. Up ahead, more snow covers the rooftops of other buildings, and warm light glows in their windows. Beyond, snowy tree-covered mountains rise toward a dim, overcast sky. Snow continues to fall across the scene.

A full moon shines down out of a starless night sky, illuminating a pair of rustic wooden buildings standing near a tall wiry pine tree. In the foreground, the stumps of a few dozen wooden posts poke up through the snow, all that remains of some lost structure. Beyond, the pine tree dominates the center of the image, its branches heavy with snow. A figure carrying a bucket is approaching the nearest building; warm lights shine in the windows of the second building further on. A layer of crisp fresh snow covers everything.

A view looking down into a residential street on a dim winter evening somewhere in Japan. On our left, a river curves up and across the top of the image; on the riverbank, a row of houses follows the line of the river, light shining in their windows. An uneven layer of snow covers the tile rootops of the houses. In the street on our right, hanging lanterns throw splashes of yellow illumination across the ground, and a few shadowy pedestrians walk along the road.

A snowy winter evening scene somewhere in rural Japan. A narrow, cold-looking creek cuts through the forground; on the right-hand bank, a tall leafless tree is plastered with snow and frost, while on the left-hand bank, a faint track worn by foot traffic in the snow runs past a couple of small buildings. A pair of figures -- one child and one adult, each carrying bamboo umbrellas -- follow the track, heading toward a snow-covered house where warm lights shine in the windows. Beyond, a shadowy forest cuts a silhouette against a dull gray sky. Snow continues falling across the scene.

Winter night gathers around a village by the sea. Snow covers the ground and the tile rooftops of the houses; warm lights glow in the windows. A figure carrying a lamp accompanies a smaller figure through the snow, approaching one of the houses. Beyond, the wintry Sea of Japan is dark, grey, and cold.

Rice is harvested on a farm in rural Japan. A series of terraced rice fields dominate the image, traveling from the foreground to the background like rolling waves. In the foreground, golden sheaves of rice have been hung up to dry on wooden racks, while figures continue the harvest on terraces further on.

A thatched-roof cottage stands tucked in close by trees turning yellow and orange with the season. At the side of the house, chickens scratch and peck in the small yard near their coop; just beyond, a small watermill churns away.

The leaves of a cherry tree in autumn yellow and orange screen our view of part of Kyoto's Joshokoji Temple. The branches of the tree are supported from below by poles, in anticipation of snow; beneath the tree, cloud-pruned shrubs line up along a walkway toward the temple building. Beyond, the silhouettes of trees crowd out all but a small glimpse of a dim sky

A view of a forested mountain landscape on an overcast autumn day. In the foreground, a narrow path winds along a hillside covered in dry grass; the path disappears into a stand of tall trees, turned orange-gold with the season. Beyond the trees, the dark silhouette of a mountain rears up. A small corner of dull, overcast sky can just be seen at the top left of the image, where the slope of the mountain overlaps with another mountainside beyond.

In the foreground, a pair of Miko in traditional red and white cross the courtyard; beyond, a series of wide stone steps leads up toward the red-lacquered temple.
