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.
Growing up with two Japanese, red maples in my yard, I have a nostalgia that draws me toward them every autumn, and the fact that this summer my love of Japan was reignited. I can't wait to see it someday in person.
