During the summer months, the Fuefuki River flowing through the mountain-surrounded Kofu Basin changes course dramatically, bringing stones of all sizes along with it. In winter these stones take various forms, becoming covered by grasses burned off from fields, getting pulled along by the water, or sinking to the bottom of the river beds. These photos by Takuro Yoneda show such stones as they move along the Fuefuki River and its tributaries and roads. There is nothing remarkable about these stones or their shapes. There is no knowing where the river stones came from or how they came to be shaped the way they are. Nor can anyone say what the stones from the road went through to arrive at where they are. They have no way of tracing their origins. They seem to have appeared suddenly out of the past or future before our very eyes, which we strangely cannot take off of them.
