Landscape with stone bridge

At this location in Gengo no Mori,
there remains a stone monument indicating that a bridge was once built there.
It was probably washed away by the river's flooding.
The bridge itself has now been lost.
We succeeded in finding 3 of the 4 stone monuments, including the one on the opposite bank.
And in the place where a bridge would have been built long ago,
we rebuilt a bridge.
Since it is a place where heavy machinery cannot enter, the bridge was built manually using pulleys and tridents.
The stone is said to originate from Izumo.
This photo was taken when the bridge was built towards the opposite bank.
This was the moment when my dream of 10 years came true.
As if Mori was watching the situation, I felt a quiet gaze,
I felt an indescribable peace of mind.

Photo date: A certain day in April 2023

《Feelings and relationship with the scenery and works》
Using 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 that of a quiet photo of the world's spectacular scenery, 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.
