I've enjoyed the ferns too, of course, especially the one (<em>Plagiogyria japonica</em>, I think) in the first photograph. It is said to be one of the most common ferns in Japan, but I have to admit I don't recall seeing it, and certainly have no photograph of it. It looks like Anthony may end up a pteridologist. Your series on the Fushimi Inari shrine has been fascinating, too. Looks to be an extraordinary place and definitely one to visit in the event that I ever get myself to Japan again.
