In this image, I choose to stand in the distance and quietly look at the three-storied pagoda and cascading roof ridges of Kiyomizu-dera Temple. The wind has no sound, the branches have not yet grown new shoots, and everything seems to be condensed by time, leaving only the building and the distant mountains in dialogue. This is a gaze that is "not close", but closer to the heart. Because the farther away you go, the more you can see the weight and tenderness of this culture. The top of the tower faces the sky, the eaves are like the sea, and in the silence, thousands of years of faith and skills are still whispering.

This photograph depicts the three-storied pagoda of Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto, standing quietly between twilight and distant mountains. Architecture is silent, but it is like talking to heaven and earth. The body of the tower is stacked from the bottom up, layer by layer, like the spiritual journey of the practitioner: starting from the earthly world, step by step towards a purer and higher spiritual realm. The picture wheel is like an antenna, leading people's wishes and beliefs to the boundless. This is not only the beauty of architecture, but also a condensation of internal order and time standing still.

This photograph was taken at Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto, where the winter morning sun spills over the ridge and illuminates the thousand-year-old wooden structure supported by 139 logs. Standing on the stage, you can feel not only the ultimate of architectural craftsmanship, but also the accumulation of thousands of years of faith and life. The prayers of the crowd, the lingering of cigarettes, and the baptism of sunlight seem to transform this ancient building from a static structure into a flowing container of time. This is not just a temple, but the embodiment of "Dancing with Faith" in Japanese culture.

This is not a road to overlook or a shrine to look up to, but a path that I chose to gaze from "sideways" among the Inari mountains. The repeated torii gates along the way form a curve that slowly disappears into the distance between the forests, allowing people to silently step into a time and space where history and faith are intertwined. Color is no longer just decoration, but part of space: vermilion is like blood, forest green is like soul. This path may not be a stairway to the future, but a quiet flow of people in the deepest part of the spiritual world.

In this work, I chose to stand under the Inari Torii and look up at the stone steps leading to the depths of the mountain forest. Sunlight pours down through the gaps in the torii gate, leaving bright marks on the stairs, like the footprints of gods. The torii gate is not just a building, but also a "boundary" - it distinguishes between the mundane and the divine, the mortal and the faithful. The staircase in the center of the picture leads people into the unknown but sacred situation. In the quiet forest, light becomes the only sound. It is not noisy, but powerful, just like our inner awe and exploration of the unknown.

In this work, I chose to use the shadow forest as a curtain to let the torii gate of Fushimi Inari Taisha slowly appear in natural light. The people walking through it are as calm as travelers, making the shrine not only a sightseeing spot, but also a gateway to the spiritual world. Passed down from generation to generation, these vermilion birds symbolize the continuation of beliefs, traditions and aspirations, stretching through the woods, like a vein between humans and nature, between the divine and the mundane. Although the picture is silent, it contains strong spiritual tension and cultural resonance.

In this Street View photo, I captured the most iconic street of Dotonbori in Osaka. From the large-scale traditional food sign "Osaka King Sho" to the "EXPO 2025" logo, which symbolizes the future, it shows how a city is constantly flowing and merging between tradition and future. The text and lights stacked on top and bottom of the picture seem to be the breathing rhythm of the city, which is both crowded and organized, just like the name of the Wanbo mascot "Myakumyaku (vein)", symbolizing the continuation and circulation of the city's culture and life. This is not just a street scene, but a story that tells the coexistence of time flow and culture.

This is Maruike from Yuza Town, Yamagata Prefecture. This pond, which has a color of both blue and green, has been carefully protected since ancient times, and seemed to create a special space with the surrounding Nature. On the last day of my trip to Tohoku, I visited in the evening. Visiting the site after seeing the dynamic mountains and nature of Tohoku, I was very surprised and impression by this pond with a diameter of only 20 meters. I think it was the color of this picture, and I think it was bluer. It is a scenery that I would like to see again.

This is a photo of the Kintai Bridge in Yamaguchi Prefecture when I visited it in the early morning of autumn. The frost left footprints in the air, and I felt that this place is still supporting people coming and going.

The sacred tree that protects Kobe This photo was taken at Ikuta Shrine in the city of Kobe. Tucked away in the hustle and bustle of the city, this place was like a different world, and the sacred tree that hung there gave me a sense of mysterious power.

This photo was taken with my best friend when I went to a festival Held in in the handmade Village Koi Township in Towada City, Aomori Prefecture. The wind chimes and the lanterns reflected in the back remind us of summer in Japan. It was the best night I was able to spend with my best friend in a bright, yet calm space in my last year in Aomori. Each other's faces, illuminated by the light of the lanterns, may have been a little lonely...

One quiet springtime afternoon, a cyclist pedals along the enchanting canopy of soft pink petals in full bloom in Sewaritei Yodogawa Riverside Park. Witnessing such scene before me felt like time seems to have paused as the spirit of serenity whispers through every falling blossom. This moment captures more than just motion; it reflects the harmony between nature and human presence, the quiet joy of spring and the enduring beauty of Japanese tradition. As the wheels turn gently over the petal-strewn path, the scene becomes a living haiku—fleeting, serene, and deeply moving. "Beneath cherry skies, Wheels hum through petals like wind, Spring breathes, then drifts on." - a haiku by the Lemonee
