The Autumnal Colors: Red

Finally here there is the Acer poetry. I'm so proud of my parents oriental corner of the garden where its Japanese variety is the undisputed protagonist.
I won't never forget how the month of November could be so stunning there in Japan where, thanks to the brightness Momiji {Acer Palmatum}, everything looks like set on fire.
After the Hanami it is impossible not to mention the tradition of going to visit scenic areas where leaves have turned red in Autumn.


This practice is called Momijigari, Kōyō or Kanpūkai, in some Northern area.
They say that Nikko and Kyoto are the most famous destination where to sit down finding ourselves entirely overwhelmed by colors and shapes of the foliage around.
