A late-November 1998 Diary entry in woodcut and silkscreen, this print captures a day near the end of autumn. By late November, Japan's fall foliage has peaked in most regions, and the first real cold sets in. Noda was fifty-eight and deep into the Diary series' fourth decade, producing prints with the steady rhythm of someone for whom daily visual recording had become second nature. The woodcut-silkscreen technique — combining carved surfaces with photographic transfer — gives the autumn scene a layered material presence. Each print in the series functions as a discrete object, but together they form a visual autobiography measured in individual days.
