The region gave its name to the Asuka Period (538–710), a pivotal era in Japan’s early history marked by the rise of Buddhism and the establishment of Japan’s first temples, including 飛鳥寺 (Asuka-dera). This print depicts a quiet rural lane bordered by traditional houses, stone walls, and dense foliage, evoking the simplicity and tranquility of village life during autumn.
