Description
A stately maple tree stands on the right, adorned with colorful red leaves on the branches above and near the roots. On the ground, suggested by the subtle greyish trace of a pool of ink, are typical autumn plants: Maiden Flower, or ominaeshi, chrysanthemum, or kiku, thorned vine with red fruit, and a single fallen ginko leaf. -
