Blue time (bamboo scenery)

ART PIECE / Leica × Japanese paper
 
This is a deep green landscape covered with the Japanese azalea that represents Gengo Forest.
I was fascinated by this scenery and started getting involved with this forest.
It is a place with a sacred atmosphere, as if there are gods or spirits.
This photo was taken during the symbolic blue hour of this forest, which appears when the sun sets.
　

Photograph date: A certain day in June 2022

《Feelings and relationship with the scenery and works》
Using our own sensibilities to the “Gengo Forest” that we own
Creating an ideal landscape by modifying it,
Living in and observing the landscape that we created,
Observing from a fixed point. In this way,
we record the symbolic scenery that appears each time
as the seasons change and create works of art. 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,
finally becomes a photograph.
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.
