Part of Ando's 'Feel the Wind' seasonal series, this etching with chine collé interprets the tactile sensation of autumn air moving through a landscape. Autumn foliage — likely maples, ginkgo, or grasses — would be rendered with the fine crosshatching and aquatint gradation characteristic of Ando's intaglio technique, capturing the translucency of backlit leaves. Chine collé allows for a warm tonal base, evoking the amber and ochre palette of the season without relying solely on plate work. The series framing suggests a contemplative approach to seasonal change rooted in the Japanese aesthetic sensibility of mono no aware — the pathos of passing things.
