"A Carpet of Autumn Spreading Across Daisetsuzan"
A scene of autumn encountered around Mt. Kurodake in the Daisetsuzan Volcanic Group, Hokkaido.
At my feet, alpine plants dyed in red spread out, and beyond them, the majestic mountain range is woven with yellow, orange, and green high pines.
White remnants of snow still cling to the mountainside, coexisting with the brief autumn and the hints of winter.
It is like a vibrant carpet of colorful autumn leaves spread across the earth.
This is the unforgettable autumn of Daisetsuzan that I encountered in my last year living in Hokkaido.

"Oku-Nikko: Autumn Warmed by Charcoal Fire"
This was taken at a shop in front of Yutaki Falls, a famous waterfall in Oku-Nikko, Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture.
Surrounded by glowing charcoal fire, there were perfectly grilled dumplings and skewered fish.
Behind the firewood wrapped in white ash, bright red embers were shining.
Enjoying the autumn foliage in Oku-Nikko, not only the colorful trees but also the warmth of the charcoal fire and the fragrant autumn delicacies are part of the joy of travel.
It was a scene that warmed the heart amidst the cold autumn air.

"The vermilion Otorii Gate adorned with cosmos"
A scene of autumn encountered at the Koizumi Cosmos Fields in Isesaki City, Gunma Prefecture.
The vermilion Otorii Gate towers towards the blue sky, with vibrant pink, white, and reddish-purple cosmos blooming at its feet.
The grand appearance of the large gate and the delicate cosmos swaying in the wind.
I captured a beautiful landscape woven together by the traditional vermilion of Japan and the autumn flowers in a single photograph.

"The Crimson Bridge Crossing into a New Autumn"
Akagi Ohnuma Woodpecker Bridge spans Gunma Prefectural Akagi Park, near Onuma.
This bridge, leading to Akagi Shrine, completed its reconstruction on December 16, 2025, welcoming its first autumn in a new form.
The vibrant crimson bridge stands against the backdrop of Mt. Akagi, which has begun to turn shades of red and yellow. And the endlessly clear blue sky stretches above.
The newly transformed bridge meets the autumn that arrives unchanged every year.
I captured this beautiful encounter in a single photograph.

"Wind chimes and mist"
The refreshing sound of wind chimes resonates in the summer shrine grounds.
The mist drifting through gently eases the hot air.
The coolness felt through the ears and the coolness felt on the skin.
This moment, unique to summer in Japan, has been captured in a single frame.

Even the shopkeeper cat is down.
At Mamada Hachimangu Shrine, there are many "shrine cats."
They have cat goshuin stamps and cat's one-grain-manifold protection charms.
The shrine grounds are bathed in the summer sun.
By the water fortune slips, even the shopkeeper cat seemed unable to withstand the heat.
Stretching out on the stone pavement, it takes a moment to rest.
This captures a slice of everyday life in Japan, amidst the summer heat.

"Summer Clouds on Fire"
In the summer evening, looking up at the sky, the large, developed clouds were illuminated by the setting sun, turning into a fiery color.
The clouds rose powerfully as if they had stored the heat of the day, contrasting with the gradually darkening sky.
It was a brief display, a drama of the summer evening sky.

After the Guerrilla Thunderstorm
This summer has seen many guerrilla thunderstorms.
This happened when I visited Mamada Hachimangu Shrine for the wind chime festival, and after a guerrilla thunderstorm passed, I noticed a brief moment of sunshine with droplets on the tanzaku (wishing strips), prompting me to take a photo.
After the intense guerrilla thunderstorm enveloped the shrine, light briefly shone through the clouds. It was a moment when the wind chimes, adorned with raindrops, quietly conveyed the changes in the summer sky.

"The whole school assembly will begin!"
A sunflower field instead of the summer schoolyard.
Many sunflowers were facing the same direction, beautifully lined up.
Some children were looking straight ahead, some were slightly turned, and some were still small.
As I watched, their figures blended with those of the students lining up for the assembly.
"Now, let's start the whole school assembly!"

"Summer Wishes"
Captured at the Wind Chime Festival at Hotokuji Temple in Kiryu City, Gunma Prefecture.
I encountered a gentle-faced Jizo statue at the festival.
Surrounded by colorful wind chimes, a small strip of paper swayed nearby with the wish, "May the whole family be healthy and happy."
The refreshing sound of the wind chimes carries the wishes for the family.
I captured a tranquil moment that embodies the essence of a Japanese summer.
