"Japanese garden in Autumn - Emperor's Garden 2 — 秋の庭園風景"

This numbered variant from Ohno Bakufu's Emperor's Garden autumn series presents another composed view within the imperial grounds. Autumn foliage in graduated reds and yellows fills the upper register, with reflections broken by the surface of a garden pond below. Stone garden architecture — possibly a lantern, bridge, or ornamental rock — grounds the scene in the material culture of formal Japanese garden design. Ohno's printmaking vocabulary, developed through years of working with natural subject matter in the Gyorui Gashu series, translates effectively to landscape: the same attention to surface texture, color modulation, and anatomical or botanical specificity informs his treatment of bark, foliage, and water.
