(日本の自然像–身近な風景のフォトギャラリー– )

This photo gallery shows beautiful moments of Japanese nature close to us, through about 50 slideshows with classical music.

The Japanese archipelago is blessed with a wide variety of nature.

The beauty of Japanese nature is enhanced by clear water and vibrant natural colors, with seasonal changes.

In this gallery, Japanese scenery is shown from different aspects of the following pages.

The slideshows could take us on quiet walks through Japanese nature.

1. Background Slideshows–windows into Japanese scenery–

2. The Little BGSS Book–Japanese seasons coming and going–

3. Another Space in the Water–a kaleidoscope of Japanese scenery–

4. Natural Stained Glass–fusion of Japanese seasons and the sunlight–

5. Miscellaneous

The photo locations are not only in scenic rural places from Hokkaido to Kyushu, but also in the metropolis, Tokyo.
