In Japan

As dusk settles over a historic Japanese village, warm lanterns glow against dark wooden facades, casting a golden light on the cobblestone path. The steep mountain behind, dotted with autumn foliage, frames the scene in natural elegance. A lone figure walks down the quiet street, adding a sense of peaceful solitude. The hanging signs, written in elegant kanji, hint at centuries-old shops and tea houses. This image, captured by Daniil Korzhonov, beautifully blends tradition with the quiet drama of twilight, offering a timeless glimpse into Japan’s cultural soul.
