"Forest of beech in autumn" renders the buna grove at the height of its seasonal color — the broad-leafed canopy turning gold and amber above a forest floor carpeted in the same fallen warmth. Kitaoka's handling captures both the specific identity of the beech forest (its smooth, pale trunks, its broad-leafed canopy) and a more abstract seasonal feeling, the composition organized around the tension between the vertical geometry of trunks and the horizontal spread of the autumn color mass.
