Exactly two years ago around this time, I went to a remote mountain village in Japan that I had always wanted to see.  Shirakawa-go in Gifu Prefecture was on my mind for a long time and I couldn't believe my dream was about to come true when I was on my way there.

The amazing and almost surreal experience from that visit prompted me to do several paintings and I also wrote a couple of blog posts about the village (go to my old post).

Recently I met someone online who lives there.  His photographs and posts on his facebook page (Shirakawa-go) show the world what an incredibly unique place Shirakawa-go is.  From what I learn from him, the village is now covered in snow already.  It appears to be a long winter of deep snow for the villagers.
