Palace Mt. Fuji Sunrise
Originally built for the Tokugawa Shogun, The Palace now houses the Japanese emperor. The bridge is called the "Double Bridge." Sunrise from the top of Mt. Fuji. Climbing season is during July and August and everyone in Japan tries to climb it once in their lifetime.
Fall Colors The Deer Dance
Fall colors from a shrine north of Tokyo. For a California boy, the fall colors are striking. The "Shikanmai" or deer dance festival. The role of the deer are played each year by local junior high school students.
Hanami Kids at a Festival
Waiting for "Hanami," or cherry blossom viewing. This is one of the many excuses for a drinking party in Japan. Students performing in a local festival.
In a junior high school classroom A Japanese Scarecrow
Inside a local junior high school classroom. The calligraphy on the back wall says "The White Snow of Mt. Fuji." A scarecrow. Japan has some of the biggest crows in the world rendering these scarecrows basically useless.
