Landscape (Autumn) 3F (27.3 x 22cm) Written by Shosuke Osawa

Autumn is the time of year when the weather transitions from summer to winter, and is a season when you can see beautiful changes in scenery such as autumn leaves.

Cool autumn breezes bring fresh air and a welcome relief from the oppressive heat of summer. The sunlight is softer, making the days warmer and more comfortable.

This piece captures the charm of autumn through its muted colors and gentle shapes, creating an impressive expression of its beauty and seasonal change.
