Anonymous said, colour of autumn leaves in Japan was red, and the rest is yellow. I don’t agree. Autumn colors are various and filled with a lot of colours on our planet. However, it is true that red is a kind of dominant colour at least around Tokyo because of cherry trees, dodan-tsutsuji (Enkianthus perulatus) and such street plants. In addition, late autumn weather is usually dry and clear then you may see some orange skies both in a morning and evening. And, needless to say, it is a good moment.
As winter approaches, the world tends to turn brown, but late autumn in Tokyo is surprisingly full of red. Sometimes the red nuts shine in the sun under the blue sky, and sometimes the dry sky at dusk is dyed red. In a sense, it also means that we will soon feel the crispness of the cold morning air. A medieval poet once wrote, “Mornings are the best in winter,” and I agree, because it gets warmer during the day.
