Description
This print depicts an autumnal view of an imperial garden, likely one of the grounds associated with the imperial palace in Tokyo or Kyoto. Ohno renders the scene with attention to seasonal atmosphere: maples in full koyo (autumn color change) cast reflections across a still pond, while stone lanterns and carefully pruned pines anchor the composition in the formal tradition of Japanese garden design. The bokashi gradations suggest the cool, diffuse light of late autumn. As part of a numbered series on the Emperor's garden, this impression captures the meditative quality of kaiyushiki teien (stroll garden) design, where each turning point reveals a new composed view.
