Description

Two men stop to enjoy the view of ships under the maple leaves in front of Kaianji Temple in autumn. The pink bokashi gradation at the horizon is a nice touch. One of the poems in the print reads, "The Maples dyed by Autumn / Make a fine brocade / There is neither warp nor woof!" (translation by Edward F. Strange).
