This print from the Emperor's Garden autumn series shows Ohno Bakufu working in a landscape register distinct from his celebrated fish studies. The composition likely features a vantage point within the imperial garden grounds, with layers of autumn foliage — burnt orange, deep crimson, pale yellow — receding into a misty middle distance. Traditional garden elements such as a yukimi-doro (snow-viewing lantern) or a stepping-stone path may anchor the foreground. Bokashi gradations along the sky and water surfaces lend atmospheric depth. The print reflects the meisho-e tradition of depicting famous places, here applied to the exclusive and historically resonant setting of the imperial grounds.
