This image captures the Bogatsuru Wetlands in Oita Prefecture. What awaits at the end of the path lined with silver grass, grown taller than a person? A painterly landscape that appears only during this season.

“Trying My Hand at Digging Sweet Potatoes”
📷 Canon | Canon EOS R6
cizucu Editorial Team
An autumnal photograph showing a child who has unearthed a sweet potato larger than their own hand. The trousers bear the words ‘Challenge Anything.’ The sense of being nurtured by the earth surely inspires this child to grow even more!

cizucu Editorial Team
A poetic image capturing fallen leaves in a dreamlike manner. Perhaps the leaves were photographed on a mirror? The orbs of light resemble droplets, transforming the way we perceive the fallen leaves.

“With the Autumn Moon Behind, an Airplane. It took me six years to finally capture this!”
📷 SONY | ILCE-7M3
cizucu Editorial Team
How many hours did the artist spend peering through the viewfinder, waiting for this moment? When an airplane appears to sit atop the moon, this type of photograph is affectionately called ‘Tsukidon’ (Moon Bowl). It’s a shot that makes you want to say, ‘Congratulations!’

A photograph of Mount Fuji glimpsed through autumn foliage. You can see a dusting of snow near the summit, beautifully capturing the magic of Japan’s natural beauty and the changing seasons. Among the many submissions, this work most evocatively expressed the essence of Japanese autumn, which is why it was selected as the awarded work.
