"Forest and Architecture"

"Forest and Architecture" / Made with Japanese paper

The architecture built in Gengo Forest,
This is the view of the forest from the living room, which has glass on three sides.

Living with the forest,
Protecting yourself from harsh environments
With a basic goal in mind,
Like a membrane, how thin,
Living in direct contact with the forest
The aim was to see if it was possible.
I think we've developed a really good relationship.

About a year and a half later,
There is another building on the premises,
We plan to build a small house where you can experience life in the forest.
Stay tuned.

"Thoughts and connections to the scenery and artworks"
We will create our own forest of "Gengo" with our own sensibilities.
By adding our own hands, we can create the ideal scenery.
While living and observing the scenery that we created,
By observing at fixed points,
With the changing of the seasons,
The iconic scenery that appears each time
I record it and turn it into a work of art.

It's like taking a picture while traveling and searching for beautiful scenery.
This may be the polar opposite of common practices.

While communicating with the forest,
Finally, what becomes a photograph is
I think this is just the final result.
Photography is just one method of expression,
After more than 10 years of hard work,
The scenery itself is the work of art.
I understand that.

Each and every photograph takes time to create.
What kind of photos are quiet and include the world's most beautiful scenery?
Although the subject matter is completely different,
The act and prayer itself is a source of beauty.
I was guided by that power many times.
Again, I have been overwhelmed.

It's not a spectacular sight,
It's just a quiet scene,
If you like it, you can take it home and display it.
Changes in emotions and lifestyles
I would be happy if you could face it.
