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 full moon shines down on a female figure, holding a bamboo umbrella, waiting under the spreading branches of a tree. The figure and the scenery are rendered as hazy silhouttes; mist obscures any details or background.

An overcast, rainy day somewhere in Japan (possibly near Akasaka, in Tokyo). In the foreground, a wiry pine tree stands atop a grassy hill; a little further on, a pair of figures, a child and an adult, carry umbrellas as they walk past. Beyond, the shapes of trees and buildings are reduced to hazy silhouettes in the gloom.
