Hello! This is Hirai.
Before we know it, it's December.
Following on from the previous blog post by staff member TK,
In fact, I also went to a certain place a while ago to take a quick look at the autumn leaves.
Autumn is slowly disappearing in recent years, but I'd like to write down my memories of this wonderful scenery on the staff blog so I don't forget it!
The bright red maple leaves against the clear blue autumn sky were absolutely beautiful.
Thinking about it, I don't think there are any maple trees this bright red near my house or within my range of activity (or maybe I just haven't noticed!?)
There are many different shades of red for rugs, but the red of maple leaves is also exquisite!!
I love the way the sunlight peeks through the gaps.

This photo is my favorite.
The silhouette of the branches is very cool and you can feel the vitality of the tree.
The gradation of green, yellow, and red is amazing! It's mesmerizing.
I wanted to keep looking at the sky...but my neck hurts.

The red is nice, but this one is also very pretty.
At first glance, the image of a fresh green apple comes to mind! Dazzling!
I'm not sure what color a real green apple was, but for me, the key point is the refreshing color and the contrast between the overlapping leaves and the areas where the sunlight shines through.

Perhaps the rug maker's blood is stirring.
Following in the footsteps of staff member TK, I also took photos of the carpet of ginkgo and maple leaves!!
The autumn leaves are amazing.
It continues to impress even after the leaves have fallen.
From the moment they start to change color to the very end, they entertain us again and again.
It may have been the first time in my life that I was able to fully enjoy the autumn leaves to such an extent.
Hirai was looking forward to being able to see this view again next year, and he was determined to endure the cold.
See you next time!
