This 1934 color woodblock print from Kishio Koizumi's "One Hundred Views of Great Tokyo in the Showa Era" depicts autumn foliage along the moat at Hanzomon Gate, one of the original gates of Edo Castle. The moat, now part of the Imperial Palace's outer fortifications, is lined with deciduous trees whose leaves turn brilliant shades of red and gold each November. Koizumi captures this seasonal transformation with carefully layered color printing, building the warm tones of maple and zelkova foliage against the cool greens of the moat water. The Hanzomon area, located in central Tokyo, juxtaposes feudal-era fortification with modern government buildings, and Koizumi's composition likely includes both elements, showing how nature's seasonal rhythm persists alongside the city's architectural evolution. The oban format provides sufficient scale to render the panoramic quality of this moat-side view.
