Doll-Shaped Setting Sun Off Yamaguchi Prefecture A Portent Of Autumn

Video footage taken slightly after 5 p.m. on Nov. 5 in Hikari, Yamaguchi Prefecture, shows the sun setting into the Pacific Ocean being refracted to form a doll-like shape in a seasonal phenomenon known as a “daruma-yuhi” (daruma doll sunset). Cold air over the surface of warm sea water creates vapors that are responsible for the illusion.
