A rural scene somewhere near Mount Fuji, on a bright spring day. On our right, a wooden water wheel attached to a rustic thatched-roof building turns in a clear little stream; snow still clings to the shady side of the roof, and lingers in the building's shadow. A tall tree, its branches bare except for a few of the previous season's leaves, stands nearby. On our left, a single traveler carries a large basket on their back as they make their way along a winding path. Beyond, regular fields of farms stretch out toward a dense forest of evergreens; in the distance, snow-capped mountains reach into a clear blue sky.

A spring morning on a farm in Izu, Japan. In the foreground, a flooded rice paddy has been seeded with tidy rows of plant shoots; beyond, a path leads between low green shrubs toward a series of traditional thatched-roof buildings. Beyond, the top of a cherry tree in bloom reaches up over the rooftops, while further on, healthy green forests cling to steep hillsides. Above, a few hazy white clouds cross a bright blue sky.

A traditional style farm in Ibaraki Prefecture. In the foreground, a vegetable field has been planted in tidy rows. Nearby, a tall tree is still leafless. Beyond, a group of thatched-roof farm buildings stands on the shore of what is probably Lake Kasumigaura; on the left, a single person can be seen in shadow, occupied with an unseen task. Above, a trio of birds wheel in a bright blue sky populated by a few puffy white clouds. The sun illuminates the scene at an angle, casting the shadows of unseen trees across the farmyard.

A view looking out over the pond at Tokyo's Inokashira Park on a spring day. Snow melts on the banks of the pond, exposing mud beneath; brown reeds and grasses crowd close to the water's edge. Out on the still surface of the pond, a single bird flaps its way into a takeoff, leaving a trail of disturbed water in its wake. Beyond, tall trees stand beneath an overcast sky.

Bright sunshine falls on a wintry landscape in Japan. In the foreground, fresh snow lies across traditional wooden farm buildings, haystacks, and tall leafless trees; on our right, a single figure goes about their business on the farm. Beyond, Mount Fuji dominates the horizon, its snowy peak rising tall into a clear blue sky.

Kyoto's Kiyomizu-Dera on a snowy winter's day. Two female figures, dressed for the cold and holding umbrellas over their heads, pause on the stage behind the main hall of the temple. Apart from these two, the area is deserted, and has collected a layer of fresh, undisturbed snow. Below the stage, the branches of leafless trees are rimed with frost; beyond, the main temple hall and buildings appear dark and deserted. In the distance, the shadow of a mountain crosses the horizon, and snow continues to fall across the scene.

A lone pilot steers a small wooden boat loaded with cargo along a river, on a snowy winter's evening. A house stands on the riverbank beyond, warm yellow light glowing in the window, reflecting and scattering on the surface of the river.

A view of Tokyo's Senzoku Pond on a snowy winter's day. In the foreground, wiry pine trees stand on the edge of the pond, fresh snow clogging their branches and sticking to their trunks.

Two pedestrians cross a wooden bridge spanning Tokyo's Edo River, on a snowy winter's evening. A tall leafless tree stands on the near side of the river, its trunk and bare branches plastered with snow. Just beyond, two female figures in traditional coats, hairstyles and geta carry umbrellas over their heads as they cross the bridge.

A snowy evening at Tokyo's Honmon-ji Temple. Pedestrians carrying bamboo umbrellas over their heads walk up a track cleared in the snow by earlier foot traffic. On the left, a tall Japanese pine tree, its branches heavy with snow, stands near a wall running parallel to the path; up ahead, a temple gate opens on a series of wide stone steps, leading up toward the temple grounds. Beyond, tall trees are reduced to silhouettes in the winter gloom. Snow continues to fall across the scene.

Snow falls on industrial buildings on the banks of Tokyo's Kanda River, on a dim winter evening. A layer of fresh snow lies across the rooftops of buildings crowded near the water's edge; in the center of the image, the wheel of a watermill is still, its blades gathering snow. A single light shines in one window at the mill, but the scene is quiet and deserted

A view of the main gate at Tokyo's Zojo-ji Temple, on a snowy evening. Wind drives falling snow across the image at an angle; pedestrians dressed for the cold tilt their umbrellas into the wind.

An overcast winter morning on the banks of Tokyo's Sumida River, near a ferry crossing. In the foreground, dry yellow grasses push up through the fresh snow covering the riverbank. A pair of snow-plastered trees stand nearby; just beyond, the roof and ramp of a wooden boathouse are covered in snow. Close to shore, a trio of rowboats are tied up at mooring posts. On the other side of the calm Sumida River, blocky shapes of snow-covered rooftops populate the gloom. The sky above is overcast, and snow continues to fall across the scene.

Snow falls on a residential street in Japan. On our left, rooftops of houses are hidden beneath a layer of fresh snow, and trees in walled gardens have their snow-laden branches supported by yukitsuri. On our right, a female figure carrying a bamboo umbrella passes a 1920s-era automobile as she walks along the partially cleared road. Warm lights shine in the window of just one house at the end of the block. Another figure, also carrying an umbrella, passes by a snow-plastered utility pole at the far end of the street. Above, the sky is dim and overcast, and snow continues to fall across the scene.

Snow falls at Toshogu Shrine, in Ueno, Tokyo. A female figure in traditional clothes and geta carries a bamboo umbrella over their head as they walk along a narrow track cleared by foot traffic in the snow. Their path takes them past a stone komainu statue, a line of unlit stone lanterns, and the red-lacquered five-story pagoda at the shrine. Just beyond the shrine, snow sticks to the leafless branches of tall trees. A layer of fresh snow lies across everything; the sky above is dark and overcast, and snow continues to fall across the scene.

A solitary figure visits Osaka's Shitennoji Temple on a dark winter night, pausing in the deserted courtyard. Footprints in the fresh snow reveal the figure's interrupted progress; the bamboo umbrella the figure holds hides their head. Beyond, the nearby temple buildings are deserted and closed up, while further on, taller buildings and the five-story pagoda are shadowy, details obscured by the dim light. Snow falls across the scene.

Heavy snow falls at Kyoto's Kinkakuji Temple. The temple building and the nearby trees are covered in a layer of fresh snow; the surface of the pond before the temple is still. Tall, snow-covered trees crowd the view beyond the water. Overhead, the sky is overcast, and heavy snow continues to fall across the scene. This image is an aizuri-e print, rendered in shades of blue.

Late afternoon on a street in Ojiya, Niigata, in winter. In the foreground, a path has been shoveled in the deep snow; to the left and right, tall snowbanks are piled up high, obscuring the ground floor levels of houses lined up along the street.

A little wooden lug-rigged sailboat navigates between rocky outcrops on Lake Towada. The rocks are covered with trees rusting red, yellow, and orange with the season. Beyond, on the far side of the lake, low hills are covered in yellowing foliage. The surface of the lake is calm, reflecting the boat and the rocks; above, a few puffy clouds hug the horizon as they cross the bright blue sky.
