Shiba's quiet temples and small parks surprised me amid the skyscrapers of Tokyo.

My neighbor's Shiba loves to sunbathe on the porch.

My neighbor's shiba loves to chase butterflies.

At the park, a few shibas chased each other happily around the fountain.

Shibas lounged together on the sun-warmed porch, dozing contentedly as the afternoon stretched on.

My neighbor's Shiba Inu chased a squirrel through the park, showing off its agility and sharp hunting instincts.

Shibasaki volunteered to catalog the museum's new collection of Edo-period prints.

He practiced shibari to secure the package with an elegant pattern before shipping.

After his father passed away, Jacob returned home to sit shibah with the rest of the family.

At the museum, the curator displayed the rare shibahs with great pride.
