Enjoying the Autumn Colors

Japan is renowned for the beauty of its autumn foliage. It’s home to more species of trees that change color than anywhere in the world, and over the centuries developed an entire culture devoted to enjoying these autumn sights. We’ll see methods ranging from polished temple floors that bring garden reflections indoors to the skillful arrangement of trees to blend with and enhance the landscape beyond. Keeping this culture of beauty alive depends on the efforts of those today who dedicate their lives to preserving and managing Japan’s forests.
