Autumn in Japan can be amazing especially in November when it’s quite dry and the famous “autumn leaves” change the landscape dramatically. Nature happily blends nuances of green, yellow and red to completely redecorate the scenery creating moments of breathtaking beauty. And then, like an artists in his moment of madness, it strips all the leaves from the trees and allows the canvas to rest for the winter.
In one of my travels around Japan I asked someone if the autumn leaves have appeared yet in the neighbouring forests. After a few seconds of contemplation, pointing towards the mountains he produced the most enlightening answer:
“Green, green, green, green... Yellow! Green, green, green, green... Red! Green, green, green, green... Yellow...”.
Not quite the right time, yet...
