Today, November 7th, marks Ritto—the traditional beginning of winter.

Yet, in the gentle rhythm of nature, it is the moment we deeply feel the true essence of autumn, as the foliage finally begins to reveal its vibrant seasonal hues.

We are profoundly moved by the crisp, cool breeze and the graceful elegance of autumn grasses swaying playfully in the fields.

Featured seasonal flora: Enkianthus, green foxtail, mountain gentian, curcuma ginger, and white mizuhiki.
