Lion’s Head Maple

This maple in the shadow of the Garden Pavilion bears the nickname shishi gashira, or lion’s head—calling to mind the shaggy masks worn by traditional lion dancers.

Poetically, we like to think of winter as the season when decoration and pretense are shed, and—with its structure bared—the true spirit of a tree shines through.

Perhaps surprisingly, with some maples at the end of their run, many have just begun to turn.

If you have been holding off to see the fall color at its brightest, this week is the time to visit! Some trees have not yet begun to turn while others are reaching their peak, contributing to a vivid patchwork of foliage this year.

The deep reds that have emerged this week wonderfully complement the bouquets of the Chrysanthemum Festival.

So far we’ve seen an unusually uneven fall color season, with most laceleaf maples not yet begun and several larger-leaved maples almost at their peak.
