Hi Atsuko here, sharing amazing photos from 産山村 Ubuyama mura. I don’t like cold weather but so beautiful! Hoping you stay warm at home.ଘ(੭ˊ꒳​ˋ)੭✧ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ice Art in the Cold

It was “Daikan” on 20th January, one of the 24 solar terms. It is said to be the coldest day of the year.

As usual, the temperature in Ubuyama Village was minus 6 degrees Celsius in the morning. It was so cold that it was hard to get out of the futon.

Here are some of the shots that were taken in the midst of it all!

Crystals on the window, reflecting the morning glow. Perhaps it was because the outside air was so cold, but each of the crystals grew large and sharp, catching the light and shining brightly.

Beautiful art created by the severe cold. This is a view of Ubuyama Village that can only be enjoyed now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
