September by Kazuo Nakamura is a dark and deeply meditative 17 x 20.75 inch oil on board piece. Painted in 1961, September is a portrayal of a forest landscape in the dead of night. Tall skinny trees stand in the foreground, reaching towards the top of the canvas. As Kazuo chose to render the tree foliage in a green of matching depth to that of the navy blue sky; the trees are barely distinguishable from the background they are set against.

Making use of a conservative colour palette of only blue and green further contributes to the low visibility of the subjects depicted as well as the unity of the piece. Viewers must spend a generous amount of time looking into the painting to make out the landscape seemingly buried within, one cannot be immediately sure what looms within the forest.
