Landmarks of Japan — A torii gate standing in the sea, Himeji Castle, Tokyo Tower, the pine bridge of Amanohashidate. Everyday Japan — Tatami rooms, a festival toy stall, a town doctor's waiting room, a shrine office. Streets & Festivals — Stone-paved alleys, a river ferry, a country train line, indigo shop curtains. Anime Characters — A riverside in summer, an after-school classroom, a library study session.
