Description
Nara Park in autumn — where the sacred deer move through drifts of fallen maple leaves and the ancient temples and pagodas rise above the colored canopy — is among the most celebrated autumn scenes in Japan. Kotozuka's print of the park in its seasonal peak captures the atmosphere of deer moving through fallen leaves beneath maple branches still holding their color, the combination of animal life, autumn foliage, and ancient architecture creating one of Japan's most instantly recognizable landscape images.
