A branch of the shrub known as "Burning Bush" (aka Winged Euonymus or Spindle Tree): Euonymus alata "Compactus." Though unremarkable for most of the year, when Autumn comes, it appears as if it has burst into flames.
Isn't that an amazing plant? I'd never seen one until I went to Missouri. Glad that Japan has the pleasure as well. Thanks for your comment about my IF/Burning effort.
A excellent take on the promt and a wonderful painting. Had a look at the plant online gosh it really does turn a vibarent red bet its amazining when the are a group together.
I remember first seeing one of these bushes in New York. They really do "burn". Wonderfully appropriate and very nicely done. I'd never heard of etegami before visiting here and I love it!
Thanks for visiting my blog and for your comments.
Etegami (e= "picture"; tegami= "letter/message") are simple drawings accompanied by a few apt words. They are usually done on postcards so that they can be easily mailed off to one's friends. Though etegami has few hard-and-fast rules, traditional tools and materials include writing brushes, sumi ink, blocks of water-soluble, mineral-based pigments called gansai, and washi postcards that have varying degrees of "bleed." They often depict some ordinary item from everyday life, especially items that bring a particular season to mind.
