Landscape with azaleas-001

"Landscape with azaleas - 001"
Made with Japanese paper

Many Kobanomizuba azaleas that grew wild in Gengo Forest.
Azaleas grow very slowly,
even trees of this size are often more than 80 years old.
More than anything, I feared that by placing a building in this location,
this landscape of Kobanomitsubutsutsutsutsubutsu (Azaleas) would be lost.
For the first few years, the tree was a little confused about the new environment, but
after about three years, it became beautiful, as if it had accepted us. It was in full bloom.

《Feelings and relationship with the scenery and works》
We use our own sensibilities in the “Gengo Forest” that we own.
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,
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 sources 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.

▍The actual works are on display at the gallery in Nishinomiya, so
you can see them in person.

▍Only the works will be sold, and customers will be asked to prepare their own frames of their own choice
.
