Three female figures in traditional clothing, each carrying a small child strapped to their back, pause beneath a cherry tree in bloom. Just beyond, a covered temple bell stands in shadow; at their feet, a large puddle reflects the scene. Above, the sky is hazy and overcast.

Tall cherry trees, their branches full of pink blossoms, line a narrow avenue somewhere in Japan. Merchants have set up small stalls on either side of the lane; on the right, a pair of female figures in kimono pause before one stall to shop. Screened by the cherry blossoms, the sky above is overcast, the clouds a dull milky colour.

A view of the Breithorn, a mountain range in the Pennine Alps between Switzerland and Italy. Patchy snow is melting across the rugged landscape, exposing brown and bare terrain. In the foreground, meltwater has pooled into a still lake; beyond, more mountains rise into a hazy sky.

An autumn scene in the Japanese Alps. Trees in various shades of green, yellow, orange and brown stand around the shore of a small alpine lake; beyond, tall stony mountains dominate the horizon, while above, the sky is an uninterrupted blue. The calm surface of the lake reflects the scene

A child pauses to pet a shiba-inu, crouching down near a small red-roofed azuma-ya (a covered gazebo-type garden structure). Tall grees grow close by, and are turning yellow and orange with the season. Above, the sky is murky and overcast

Outskirt of a town (Machi hazure 町はづれ )
1932

Yellow sepia colors mostly in a print of a lot of camels sitting on the ground with people standing around. In the distance and upper portion of the print is the walls of a town and buildings made with clay (seemingly). Likely somewhere in Rajasthan
