An impression from Ohno's multipart series on the imperial garden in autumn, this print emphasizes the spatial depth of a formal stroll garden. Trees in full autumn color — particularly the Japanese maple (momiji) — frame a view across open water toward distant garden structures or a wooded hillside. Ohno employs a limited but carefully modulated palette, using the warm reds and ochres of fallen and turning leaves against the cooler tones of sky and still water. The composition reflects the kaiyushiki garden's design principle that each perspective within the grounds constitutes a complete landscape picture, a quality well-suited to the conventions of meisho-e printing.
