Tuna! On sale at the early morning fish market at Numazu port, Shizuoka prefecture.

From a skiing trip last season to Zao Onsen, in Yamagaga prefecture. This is one of the free council-run baths in this hot spring resort.

Brushes used to stencil dyes onto silk at a workshop near us here in Shinjuku, Tokyo -- originally a working factory but now a museum.

This one was also taken back in the colder weather. Steamed buns for sale on the street in Yokohama Chinatown. One of my favourite winter snacks!
