Description
This is the primary impression in Ohno Bakufu's series depicting an imperial garden during autumn. The composition situates the viewer within a formal Japanese garden, likely modeled on the Shinjuku Gyoen or a palace garden in Kyoto, where manicured pines and deciduous trees in autumn color surround a reflective pond. Ohno's woodblock technique renders individual leaf clusters with naturalistic specificity, a carry-over from the botanical and zoological precision he developed for the Dai Nihon Gyorui Gashu. Multiple wood blocks would have been required to achieve the layered gradations of seasonal foliage against sky, water, and stone.
