Description
Autumn maple leaves burn in crimson and gold at the Tsutenkyo Bridge in Osaka's Tennoji district — the famous arched bridge across the Keitaku-en pond garden within the Keitoku-in temple grounds — in this autumn composition by Tokuriki. The Tsutenkyo Bridge is among Osaka's most celebrated autumn viewing spots, the maple trees that surround the pond garden turning simultaneously across a compressed area that concentrates the season's color. Tokuriki captures the moment of peak autumn color with the warmth and directness that distinguish his best seasonal compositions.
