On November 30, the Tokyo Regional Meteorological Observatory reported one of the Japan Meteorological Agency's biological seasonal observation information, "Iroha maple autumn leaves".
3 days later than normal and 4 days earlier than last year.
Speaking of "momiji", the more it refers to this species, the more it is representative of autumn leaves.
It is finally the appearance of autumn leaves.
"Autumn Leaves Hunting", which loves the world of Kinshu, is also known as "Kanpu" and "Momijimi", and along with cherry blossom viewing, is a seasonal event that Japanese people have been familiar with since ancient times.
Of the approximately 6,000 trees in the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, Iroha maple counts 25 trees.
The shape of the small and delicate leaves split 5 to 7 palm-shaped, which sticks to the finely divided branches, and the vividness of the color that changes in various colors from yellow-green to yellow-yellow-red from sprouting to the early summer and autumn leaves season Is a big attraction.
If you look through the sunshine from the back of the colored leaves, the vividness will be even more noticeable.
Against the backdrop of Ochiyaya in Nakajima, Ochiyaya in Matsuno, and Ochiyaya in Tsubame, it shines in the soft sunlight and creates the atmosphere of a daimyo garden unique to this period.
In the past, a macro morphological classification system based on kinship relationships was adopted based on flowers and leaves, and maple's family (the genus maple) was designated as the maple family. However, the new classification method, APG, which empirically constructs a classification system based on micro genome analysis, has been integrated into the mulberry family.
