A snowy evening in Nara Park. In the foreground, a leafless tree is rimed with snow and frost; beyond, a lone female figure walks past, carrying an umbrella as protection from the falling snow. Further on, the still surface of Sarusawa Pond stretches out toward more snow-covered trees on the far side of the water. In the distance, the shape of Kohfukuji Temple's five-story pagoda is a dim silhouette among shadowy trees, standing against an overcast sky. Snow continues to fall across the scene.

A view of Kyoto's Maruyama Park on a winter's day. Two female figures in traditional dress share an umbrella as they stand back-to-back by the park's pond; up ahead, another figure has crossed a short bridge and is approaching around the curve of the pond. Beyond, the shadows of the mountains around Kyoto draw a jagged line across a dim, overcast sky. Snow lies across shrubs and leafless trees, and continues to fall across the scene.

A view looking over the calm surface of Lake Yamanaka toward a snow-capped Mount Fuji, on a bright winter afternoon. In the foreground, a pair of wiry, leafless trees are rimed with frost and snow; beyond, a solitary pilot steers a small open boat across the still surface of the lake. Further on, Mount Fuji dominates the landscape. Above, a few faint clouds cross a crisp blue sky; closer to the horizon, the sky is tinted with the pale coral colour of an approaching sunset

A snowy evening by the Sumida River, in Tokyo. A solitary figure wearing a kimono and carrying an umbrella stands beneath a tall, snow-plastered tree on the banks of the river; nearby, a building is concealed behind a fence, just its roof visible above snowy trees. Small boats travel on the still surface of the cold-looking river beyond, and a layer of fresh snow covers everything, as more snow falls from an overcast sky

Winter at the Ukimido, Mangetsu-ji's floating temple hall, on a snowy evening. In the foreground, fresh snow weighs down the wiry branches of a pine tree and lies across the shore of Lake Biwa. Beyond, the Ukimido stands isolated on the surface of the lake, connected to the shore by a single narrow wooden bridge; more snow covers Ukimodo's curved rooftop. A single lantern burns in the little hall. The waters of Lake Biwa are calm; the horizon is lost in the gloom. Snow continues to fall across the scene.

A view looking toward Mount Fuji, on a cold winter's morning. In the foreground, snow weighs down the boughs of pine trees; beyond, a small sailboat crosses Suruga Bay, passing a little rocky island along the way. Further on, the early light of dawn is giving Mount Fuji's snowy peak a warm orange glow; the cloudless sky above is beginning to lighten with the coming day.

A winter sunset at a little mill near Mount Fuji. In the foreground, a snow-covered wooden mill stands next to a small stream; the mill's water-wheel churns away in the current, water splashing off its blades as it turns. Close by, a pair of straw capes and a broad straw hat hang on an exterior wall: it seems someone's at home. Nearby, a trio of chickens scratch and peck at the snow. Further on, across a snowy plain, a red torii gate stands beneath evergreens, marking the entrance to an unseen temple. In the distance, a snow-capped Mount Fuji rises into a sky turning orange and coral with the setting sun.

An early morning view looking over Lake Kawaguchi, toward a snow-capped Mount Fuji beyond. In the foreground, a pair of wiry pine trees screen our view of the calm lake; on the far side of the water, Mount Fuji rises from a skirt of mist and a few puffy clouds, its eastern-facing flank tinted rose with the dawn.

Torrential rain buckets down at the entrance of Futarasan Jinja, in Nikko. In the foreground, a tall torii gate is flanked by green trees on either side and a low stone wall on the left; on the ground, a trail of squared-off stepping stones leads through the gate. Beyond, a scattering of buildings stand against a backdrop of trees, low shadowy mountains, and an overcast sky. Intense rain pummels the scene, pooling on the road and obscuring details.

A dark, rainy evening at Sengaku-ji, in Tokyo. A female figure and a child approach the temple; she is carrying a bamboo umbrella over their heads with one hand, and a lit lantern suspended from a pole in the other. Up ahead, another figure is closing their umbrella as they climb a short series of steps leading into a temple building. A pair of tall wiry trees stand in the foreground, near another temple building; the courtyard is slick with rain, reflecting and scattering light from the woman's lantern and the interior of the temple. Above, the sky is dark and overcast, and rain continues to fall across the scene.

A full moon shines down out of a starless night sky, silvering the branches of a wiry pine tree standing in the foreground.

A full moon rises over Itsukushima Shrine, at Miyajima, Hiroshima. A solitary pilot steers a small open boat toward a waterside temple lit with hanging lanterns. Beyond, the famous 'floating' torii gate stands in Matsushima Bay, surrounded by water silvered by moonlight. Further on, low shadowy mountains cross the horizon. Above, the bright full moon shines through a break in the clouds, dominating a starless night sky.

A view of Matsushima Bay on a cool rainy spring day. In the foreground, wiry pine trees screen our view of the bay; out on the water, a small sailboat passes by a pair of small tree-covered islands. The sky above is overcast, yet, combined with the reflective surface of the still ocean, creates a soft luminescence. A light rain falls across the scene.

A view of Kyoto's Maruyama Park on a wintry late afternoon. A layer of fresh snow lies across shrubs and leafless trees. Two female figures in traditional dress share an umbrella as they stand by the park's pond, seemingly waiting for someone; another figure has crossed a short bridge up ahead and is approaching around the curve of the pond. Beyond, the shadows of the mountains around Kyoto draw a jagged line across a dim, overcast sky. Snow continues to fall across the scene.

A view looking toward Mount Fuji, early on a cold winter's morning. In the foreground, snow weighs down the branches of wiry pine trees; beyond, a small sailboat crosses Suruga Bay, passing a treeless little island along the way.

A view of Ukimido, Mangetsu-ji's floating temple hall, on a snowy winter evening. In the foreground, heavy snow weighs down a wiry pine tree standing on the shore of Lake Biwa. Beyond, Ukimido stands isolated on the surface of the lake, connected to the shore by a single narrow wooden bridge. Snow covers the little building's rooftop; a single dim lantern hangs from the rafters. The surface of Lake Biwa is calm, fading into the gloom beyond, making it impossible to tell where the water ends and the sky begins. Snow continues to fall across the scene. This image is an aizuri-e print, rendered almost entirely in shades of blue.
