After five grey days across the China Sea, the English landscape painter Alfred Parsons anchors at Nagasaki and sets off through the Japanese year. He follows the spring blossom, early summer, the time of the lotus and the autumn colours, and climbs the slopes of Fuji, recording gardens, temples and country people with a painter’s eye.
