Author William Gibson aptly described the swarming visual and emotional contrasts of Japan in his sci-fi masterpiece Neuromancer, “All the speed he took, all the turns he’d taken and the corners he’d cut in Night City, and still he’d see the matrix in his sleep, bright lattices of logic unfolding across that colorless void…” As Japan is the nexus for cyberspace, the existence of reality cannot be quantified by an individual’s geographic proximity.
Japan is a wonder of breathtaking contrasts, from the shear heights of the Hakone mountain range to the cranes of Hokkaido. This amazing photo gallery of the summer dance of fireflies adds another dimension to the country’s array of natural beauty.
