The colors of the Autumn

No comments needed :-)

Light up at Rikugien

六義園 (Rikugien) is a Tokyo metropolitan park in the Bunkyo area. The park was built in 1695 by Yoshiyasu Yanagisawa by permission of the fifth shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, and completed in 1702. In 1938 it was donated to the Tokyo City government.
During 紅葉 (autumn colors), the park is open also at night and lit up. Wonderful, isn't it?

The garden of the Embassy of Italy

Beautiful 紅葉 (autumn colors) in the Embassy of Italy in Tokyo.




(ok, this last one doesn't really show the 紅葉, but I liked it)

Ninna-ji (仁和寺)

Ninnaji Temple （仁和寺） is located in Omuro-ohuchi, in Kyoto. Since its foundation by Emperor Uda in 888 A.D., the Temple has been known as Omuro Palace, since the head priests of the Temple were tonsured sons of the imperial family until the Meiji Restoration (1869).


Passing through a vermilion Chumon Gate, you can see a five-storied pagoda and Kondo Hall, originally a Shishinden Hall of the Imperial Palace. The uniquely trimmed low-branched squat cherry trees are known as Omuro cherries for their beautiful blossoms.



These pictures were taken during autumn, and in particular during 紅葉, the period in which all the leaves change their color.
