Description
"September" (其九 秋の庭 — "the ninth, autumn garden") from 1898 depicts the September garden in its autumnal transformation — the seasonal change from summer's full green growth toward autumn's warming and browning palette, the first chrysanthemums appearing, the evening temperature beginning to cool. The autumn garden (aki no niwa) was a celebrated subject in Japanese poetry and visual art: a space of cultivated seasonal beauty whose plants and layout made the progression of autumn legible and appreciable. Shuntei renders figures within this seasonal garden context.
