Illustration: Beside a stream in a Japanese broadleaf forest, a fallen tree supports mushrooms, moss, and a young sapling. A beetle climbs its crumbling bark while a small frog waits on a wet stone below. In the shallows, tiny fish gather beneath exposed roots, and a kingfisher watches from a branch.
