"© Joseph Dougherty. All rights reserved.  Fall foliage in southern Oregon.  Japanese maple (momiji) leaves with their many colors in transition.   Momijigari (紅葉狩), from the Japanese momiji (紅葉), ""red leaves"" or ""maple tree"" and kari (狩り), ""hunting"", is the Japanese tradition of going to visit scenic areas where leaves have turned red in the autumn. It is also called kanpūkai (観楓会) in Hokkaidō.  Many Japanese people take part in this, with the cities of Nikkō and Kyoto being particularly famous destinations. The tradition is said to have originated in the Heian era as a cultured pursuit, and is the reason why many deciduous trees can be found in the Kyoto area."
