Most photographers travel
everywhere to capture
the moments and spectacular views of the place.
I think you should use a camera.
I have no interest in such things.
What I do is create scenery.

While creating the scenery of this forest where I live,
I continue to photograph the scene forever.
The scenery itself is a work of art, and

Photography is just the final step in how to present it.

Just by brushing away some tree branches,
the wind direction changes, and
the scenery afterwards. will change.
The appearance of the forest changes greatly depending on what the guardians and observers of that place think and do.
The forest will continue to ask questions and will only be close to what it deserves to be close to.
If you talk too much, Mori will turn away, so
Maybe you are taking pictures to have a conversation with Mori.
Photographs do not seek shapes or compositions, but
I continue to seek intangible effects and moments of foreboding.
I would like to reiterate that I believe that photographs are not my works, but rather,
I believe that the scenery and the hearts of the people who gather there are my works. It means that it is.
I would like to continue carving out that feeling through photography and drawing.
I've touched on everything.
More than any expensive thing, the feeling of premonition and change in this forest is the most beautiful thing to me.
I think it is the highest form of art.
Is what I find beautiful
a special feeling that is unique to me?
or do I share it with others? I am very interested in the question
of whether it is something universal that can be done.



The works are printed on Japanese paper.


《Feelings and relationship with the scenery and works》
Our own sensibilities in the “Gengo no Mori”
Create an ideal landscape by modifying it,
live and observe it in the landscape you created,
observe from a fixed point. In this way,
as the seasons change, the symbolic scenery that appears each time
is recorded and turned into a work. I am.

This may be the opposite of the common method of looking for beautiful scenery and taking pictures while traveling.


Taking time and effort while interacting with the forest,
the photograph is finally completed.
At the end. I think it's just a result of.
Photography is just a method of expression,
After more than 10 years of effort, it finally appears.
I believe that the scenery itself is the work itself
.

It takes a long time to create each photo.
The purpose of the photo is completely different from the one that shows a collection of quiet and spectacular views from around the world, but
Certain acts and prayers themselves are a source of beauty, and
I have been guided and overwhelmed by their power many times.

It's not a flashy scenery, it's all
quiet scenery, but

If you like it, you can take it home and display it.
I would appreciate it if you could face
the changes in your feelings and lifestyle.
