View of bamboo path-001

When I first encountered this forest,
it was a sacred landscape filled with spirituality that captivated my heart.
　
It was an important place that made me realize that I had to step carefully step by step, asking questions of the
forest, rather than making it a place for people.

At first,
I was very worried about my relationship with this scenery.
An architect who was around me planned to build a bridge over this bamboo path so that
they could coexist.
A certain writer thought about building a small hut and living
beside this bamboo path.
However, I chose not to touch this scenery and
continue to watch from a little distance,
the forest quietly agreed with this, and
other choices were made. I continued to refuse.

This scenery also changes
in various ways depending on
morning and evening, the season, and the moment.　
When summer comes, fireflies fly around, creating a mysterious landscape
.
That's a beautiful moment.

《Thoughts and relationship with the scenery and the work》
Our own sensibilities in the “Gengo no Mori”
Create an ideal landscape by modifying it,
live and observe it in the landscape you created, and
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,
It takes more than 10 years of effort to finally make it appear.

I believe that the scenery itself is the work itself.

It takes that much 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.
