Kegon-no-taki Fall in Autumn

Kegon Falls at Nikko — the spectacular waterfall that plunges over 90 meters from Lake Chuzenji into the gorge below — in autumn is surrounded by foliage in full seasonal color: the maples and oaks above the falls ablaze with reds and oranges against the white torrent of the cascade. Kotozuka's print captures the contrast between the static geological drama of the falls and the dynamic color of the surrounding autumn landscape, the water's white thread cutting through the warm autumn palette.
