【Autumn leaves along the lane in Nakadai, Kawagoe City, Saitama Pref.】
Nov 2000 Oil Painting 15F 65.2 ×53.0cm Lakhan
A lane along the deciduous wood in Nakadai, Kawagoe City which provide beautiful scenery of Musashino especially in late Autumn when the leaves are colored. It was about 9 o'clock in the morning on Nov.18, 2000 that I started drawing this picture and I stopped painting before 11 o'clock because I had another matter to visit Tokyo at noon. Fortunately it was so clear fine day with pure blue sky that the wood is brightly twinkling and scattering the transparent autumn sunshine by its drifting colored leaves. I could draw up the distant view over the lined trees which was worth enough to visit there on that day. Soon after I started painting, a woman of habitant approached me to make small talks on her life there. She said she used to have a large traditional farmer's house roofed by thatch but it had been replaced by modern house rebuilt only a few years ago and on that occasion she had her old house drawn by some painter for memory.
Since I was not favoured with nice climate after that day, it took me four days visiting this place until I completed this picture on Nov.26.
