Sakamoto: A Path Draped in Autumn Colors (2015) Original Watercolour by Masato Watanabe

In this work, I captured a moment where the autumn light filters through a dense natural archway of trees in Sakamoto, Shiga.
What fascinated me was the contrast between the dark, curving branches overhead and the bright sunlight illuminating the historic white wall in the distance. By carefully balancing warm autumn tones with cool shadows on the paved path, I wanted to convey the quiet, nostalgic rhythm of a Japanese afternoon.
