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 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.

Dusk at Urayasu, Chiba. Empty 'bekabune' type boats are tied up alongside a canal; a row of houses stands overlooking them, snow melting on their thatched roofs. Above, a pair of birds wheel in a sky turned dusty purple with the onset of the evening.

A misty rose-tinted sunrise on Wakakusa-yama in Nara. Three deer pause on a grassy hilltop, rendered in silhouettes by the sunrise beginning to paint the sky behind them. Nearby trees are indistinct, shadowy in the early morning light. Beyond the hill, the landscape of Nara disappears into the mist.

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 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 a barren, rocky shoreline, somewhere in Antarctica. In the foreground, dozens of Gentoo penguins clamber over the rocks; beyond, icebergs float past, carried by calm blue water. Further on, tall jagged mountains cross the horizon, rocky peaks breaking through their snowcaps.

#Godzilla vs Megalon, the 13th Godzilla film, premiered on this day in 1973. It’s most notable for the introduction of giant robot hero #JetJaguar, and for being the campiest of the #Showa era movies (which is saying a lot!) I, of course, loved it!

A view of Nagano's Matsumoto Castle in winter. Leafless trees stand in the foreground, screening our view of a flat snowy field stretching out toward the castle. The stacked rooftops of the multi-level castle are covered with fresh snow; the windows are dark and unlit. Beyond, low mountains cross the horizon, beneath a steely blue sky. Everything seems quiet and still.

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.

Broken fragments of sea ice create clutter a barren, rocky shoreline in Hokkaido. A trio of birds wheel in the sky over the cold ocean; beyond, more sea ice forms a snowy white horizon in the distance. The sky above is pale blue, streaked with a few streaky, wind-whipped clouds.

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 tall wiry pine tree plastered with snow stands close to the house. Snow continues to fall from an overcast evening sky.

A view of Nikko's red-lacquered Kamibashi Bridge on a snowy winter's day. The bridge spans the cold-looking Daiya River in a gently curving arch, while on either riverbank, leafless trees and tall pines crowd together, their branches plastered with snow. Snowflakes continue to fall across the scene; beyond, low mountains are hazy and indistinct, and the sky above is overcast
