Çà et là du Japon (さ・え・ら ジャポン, Sa•e•ra Japon^?) was the last original studio album by Pizzicato Five. It was released by ********* (Readymade) Records on the first day of the first month of 2001, and rereleased with different artwork and a lower price in 2006. Like many of their later albums, it is "set" in a famous city of the world, during a specific time of the year.

In the case of Sa•e•ra, the setting is Tokyo, Japan in winter. Çà et là du Japon differs from other Pizzicato Five albums in that it features many guest vocalists and songwriters, and regular singer Maki Nomiya appears on only a few of the songs.
