That sure is pretty.
The three just above are too similar, should probably just choose one. And to go all touchy-feely, and there are various versions of this, attributed to the Navaho. I think I've had this version since the 70s:
With beauty may I walk.
With beauty before me, may I walk.
With beauty behind me, may I walk.
With beauty above me, may I walk.
With beauty below me, may I walk.
With beauty all around me, may I walk.
In old age, wandering on a trail of beauty, lively, may I walk.
In old age, wandering on a trail of beauty, living again, may I walk.
It is finished in beauty.

I walked the "Miura Alps" with a friend yesterday (I will probably write a short journal entry later). Here are a few impressions from a splendid and unnaturally warm December day.
View of Mount Fuji and Enoshima from Zushi (I added vibrance to make Fujisan more visible).
The Grave (or rather, cenotaph) of Adam Williams, British navigator and first foreign samurai , of "Shogun "-fame. The entire area is called Anjin-zuka (安針塚), Miura Anjin (三浦按針) being Williams' Japanese name (anjin 安針 means "pilot" or "navigator").
View of Yokosuka from Anjin-zuka, in the centre the USS George Washington.

USS George Washington returns to Japan after nearly a decade away
The ship arrived at Yokosuka Naval Base on Friday after operating in South America as part of a Southern Seas deployment.

I hope I won't get banned for doing this but this is actually from 2006. But I think it's still plausible to see this in 2024.
A cucumber with various types of miso to dip it in. A perfect side dish in June.
(I just put all my photos on a "private cloud" in my house making them much more accessible. So now my life's project is to better organize these 20,000 photos and scan in my old negatives and my Dad's old slides as well. I just hope I can do all this before I die.)

I was contemplating a "warning".
I hope you'll share more of your Japan-related material with us.
Another Tama commute yesterday.
Re-did this, will leave the one above up as penance. Generally, the camera has too many settings, and if I don't think/prep enough--just leaving things as they were from the previous time (in this case the photometry/metering setting), things don't come out as well as they could.
Above is center weighted (or was it averaging?), which I then tried to fix. This one is spot, with only the highlights rolled back a little. the stems could be lighter, but I guess you can't have everything.
