EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Yuriko Nakao, we are transported to the serene snow-covered valley of Yamanouchi town in central Japan. Amidst the frosty landscape, a Japanese monkey finds solace and warmth as it luxuriates in a natural hot spring. The image beautifully encapsulates the harmonious relationship between nature and wildlife that is deeply ingrained in Japanese culture. The monkey's content expression reflects pure bliss, its eyes closed and face relaxed, seemingly oblivious to the world around it. The steam rising from the hot spring creates an ethereal atmosphere, adding a touch of mystique to this enchanting scene. As we observe this remarkable moment frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how effortlessly these creatures adapt to their surroundings. It serves as a reminder of their resilience and ability to find comfort even amidst harsh conditions. Nakao's exceptional photography skills allow us to witness this intimate encounter with nature firsthand. Through her lens, she captures not only the physical beauty of this snow-covered valley but also conveys a sense of tranquility that washes over us as we immerse ourselves in this breathtaking image. This photograph serves as an invitation for us all to take pause from our busy lives and appreciate the simple pleasures found within nature's embrace - just like this wise Japanese monkey soaking serenely in its snowy sanctuary.
