About this image
A Japanese temple corridor in full autumn glory -- a wooden walkway stretches between red-lacquered pillars, stone lanterns line the path, and brilliant autumn maple leaves (momiji) drift through the air in shades of crimson, amber, and gold. The aesthetic is pure Kyoto -- Japan's cultural capital and home to over 2,000 temples and shrines. Autumn leaf viewing (koyo) is one of Japan's most cherished seasonal traditions, drawing millions of visitors to Kyoto's temples each November. The combination of ancient wooden architecture, carefully maintained gardens, and the fleeting beauty of falling leaves creates one of the most photographed scenes in all of Asian culture. Japanese Buddhism teaches that this very impermanence -- the brief, unrepeatable beauty of each falling leaf -- is what makes life precious.
