Illustration: At the edge of a wooded Japanese valley, a child crouches beside a stream and discovers a small frog on a damp stone. The scene extends around this encounter: tree roots hold the bank, fallen leaves collect in moist soil, fish shelter beneath an overhang, and insects hover above waterside grasses.
