"Path to the maple tree B" leads through autumn's most spectacular display — the Japanese maple (momiji) whose deeply lobed leaves turn an intense crimson-orange in autumn, rivaling the cherry for seasonal drama. Kitaoka renders the path as a passage through fire: the maples on either side ablaze with color, the path itself a cool corridor through the surrounding warmth. The alphanumeric designation places this within a series of compositional variants, each exploring the relationship between path and autumnal canopy from a slightly different angle.
