Description
One impression from Ohno Bakufu's series depicting the imperial garden in autumn, this print presents the formal landscape of a Japanese stroll garden under seasonal transformation. Red and gold foliage from Japanese maples and zelkova trees contrast with the deep green of mature pines, while water elements — a pond or stream — mirror the canopy above. Ohno applies layered printing to achieve the muted tonal depth characteristic of meisho-e landscape work. The composition frames garden structures such as stone bridges or pavilions within the seasonal foliage, conveying the aesthetics of mono no aware through the transience of autumn color.
