THIS APPEARS TO BE A TRADITIONAL ROOF...with snow. It is a most unique shot, one like no other I have ever seen and I have studied Japanese homes from the ground up. Am I correct in my identification of the subject? This photo, dear photographer, is a masterpiece, a photographic haiku, a joy, a scene to study. You have created within my mind a desire to see Hokkaido. Robert
