This photo was taken in Miyazaki Prefecture [Takachiho Gorge]. Between the dark cliffs, the waterfall flows quietly, as if it were the tears left by Amaterasu. People rowed small boats through this waterway guarded by mythology. This is not an ordinary journey, but a pilgrimage into the deep memory of nature. Here, the sound of water whispers for heaven and earth, and the greenery heals for time.

This photo was taken in Miyazaki Prefecture [Takachiho Gorge]. People are on the gorge, watching the boat move with the waves. This is the place where myths are born, and the waters where reality and legend meet. The sound of paddling echoed between the cliffs, like an ancient prayer still whispered in the ears. Every boat is a journey to meditation.

This photo was taken by Kumamoto Aso's [Kusanagi Chisa]. When the clouds lower the sky, the green covers the eyes, and the grass is like a vast poem. People are small but free, and every step they take is accompanied by the wind and opposed to the mountains. There is no urban language, only nature speaks. One mountain, one lake and one grassland, allowing people to quietly re-engage with the world.

Ikuta Shrine. Marriage Water Lottery. I was so fascinated by the scenery immersed in water that I hurriedly pulled up.

This photo was taken by Kumamoto Aso's [Kusanagi Chisa]. In the bosom of a volcano, the wind is free and the horse is quiet. The grass is as green as the sea, and the sky and clouds dance on the grass. Here is the balance between nature and life, where time slows down. The distant mountains were silent, the near horse whispered, everything was just right, just as expected.

This photo was taken at Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine In the thick cedar forest, a stone path leads to the undisturbed place of the gods. The rope under the torii gate is the boundary between man and God, and it is also the starting point of faith. The air after the rain condensed into a calm aura, and each step was like stepping into another time and space. There are no words here, the wind, light and moss whisper, telling ancient stories and the tenderness of guardianship.

The night in Tokyo is not silent, It has light talking and towers breathing. Skytree is like the heartbeat of the future city, Flashing and flashing, a silent message was transmitted to the sky. In this rapidly changing world, It remains a firm vigil for the city.

Slowly peeking out among the tall buildings is the old soul of Tokyo. Tokyo Tower is no longer the tallest point in the city, but it is still the centerpiece of many people's memories. Night is coming, the lights are on, and it stands silently in the hustle and bustle of the street, Like a silent night watchman, recording the contours of the migration of the times.

The clouds weave a soft hat on the top of the mountain, as if nature crowns Mt. Fuji. The distant mountains are calm, and the dark shadows in the foreground are layered, as if quietly guarding the breath of this land. Even if there is no sunlight, the mountain is still majestic It does not need light, because it is a symbol of faith in itself.

The clouds and mist are layered, the shadows of the mountains are like a dream, and Fuji stands quietly between heaven and earth. The silent mountain is like an elder, gazing at the dawn and change of the world. This is not a spectacular moment, but a restrained eternity, a whispered call of nature to the human heart.

This photo depicts the main hall of Tokyo's famous Sensoji Temple (せんそうじ, Senso-ji). The maple leaves are like a blessing of the season, gently casting light and shadow in front of the ancient Buddhist temple. It is not a pure sightseeing spot, but a space where you can calm down and spend time together. The building is silent, but the leaves speak for it, speaking of the tenderness and continuity of faith for generations.

Warm compassion in a single skewer The owner of the storefront who stopped by suddenly. When you ask for mochi, they ask you how much you favorite, such as the amount of mitarashi and kina flour. A shop where you can talk kindly and cheerfully to school trip students, feel the care for customers, and enjoy mochi and smiles.

This work is a challenge and symbol of the limits of human vision. The Skytree is like the tower of the future, piercing the border between the city and the sky. It is not only the crystallization of technology, but also a gazing point for the future in the city. It doesn't shine during the day, but it's also incredibly clear. It does not belong to sunrise, nor to night. It belongs to all the moments we want to see further.

This work uses the bottom structure of the Tokyo Tower as the main visual axis, reflecting the grandeur and solitude of man-made objects in modern cities. The steel lines are like the blood of the city, and the orange-red lights are like beating hearts, shining lonely in the silence of the night. Even in the middle of the night, the city never sleeps. This is not a romantic Tokyo Tower, but a modern shrine made of steel and loneliness.

It is a tree near the Menkawakei in Kumakogen town, Ehime Prefecture. I felt a very free Nature of young greenery clinging to the trees that Raised grow over a long period of time.

This work, taken in a corner of the mountain area of Kifune Shrine in Kyoto, features a sacred tree that is considered to be a place for the gods to attach, tied with paper hanging and a rope. The light of the forest shines through the branches and leaves, as if the breath of the gods quietly descends. There are no ornate halls, no noisy festivals, only light and leaves, rope and wood, everything is so natural and yet so solemn. The tree is not a landscape, but a manifestation of faith, a testament to nature as a god.

This was taken in a corner deep in Kyoto's Kifune Shrine, where only lanterns guide me between the night and the shadows of the trees. They are like ancient angels, silently laying out a stairway to the depths of the soul. The building at the end of the staircase is no longer just a house, but a meeting point between man and nature, body and spirit. This is not a photo for people to see, but for the moment in your heart when you still believe that the gods will appear.

Kifune Shrine, located in the mountains of Kyoto, is considered to be the residence of the god of water and connection. This photograph chooses to stand in a corner of the inner sanctuary, gazing outward through the cover of lanterns and paper hanging outwards at the fading torii gate and distant mountain houses. At this moment, there is no incense and no pilgrims, only light and light and shadow remains, such as the residual heat left by the gods after they have just left. This is not a moment of grand ceremony, but a transition between spirit and stillness. When everything is quiet, it is the moment when the gods really appear.

At night, Umeda is like an unfolded circuit board, the buildings are chips, the lanes are optical fibers, and the lights of ten thousand homes are nodes with flashing memories. Standing high and gazing at this civilization, it is like seeing a giant beast that never sleeps, it is silent, but it never stops. The city is not a static landscape, but a functioning body of will. It's massive, mechanical, rational, and cold and real. Beyond the boundaries of all nature and faith, it constructs another kind of self-named deity of man—the system and order itself.

Kinkakuji Temple was originally a contradictory fusion of Zen minimalism and architectural magnificence, but on this day, the lake surface is like a mirror, and the golden light is like poetry, making this three-story building seem to emerge in the realm of reality and reality. The building points upwards to the center of heaven, and the reflection extends downward into introspection, one static and one moving, one real and one void, as if presenting a state of dialogue between the human heart and the universe. This is not only a display of the beauty of architecture, but also the embodiment of Zen Buddhism: when everything is quiet, the mind sees everything.

Somewhere in Nara, I caught this herd of deer resting in the afternoon. In front of them are human buildings and behind them are natural trees, and they lie right where the two meet. This photograph does not emphasize spectacle, does not appeal to movement, but allows soft light, wood structure, breath and hair to interlace, showing the ideal distance between man and nature: they are safe with each other, do not interfere with each other, but coexist in the same light and shadow. This is the habitat of deer and the most gentle human landscape we can imagine.

This work was shot near Mount Nara (Kasugayama Primordial Forest), where the shrine torii gate is isolated deep in the forest, with no pilgrims, no voices, only quiet moments of tree shadows and light spots. Torii is not just a building, but a connection between nature and the gods. This forest has been regarded as a sacred domain where logging is forbidden since ancient times, and the torii gate symbolizes the "boundary" between man and nature. It is not an invitation to enter, but a reminder that this is a place to be respected. This is not just a photographic record, but also a gaze and whisper to the divinity of nature.

This photograph was taken in Nara, where deer have long been regarded as messengers of the gods, and today they move leisurely through the city and people, no longer just a symbol of faith, but participants in the city's culture. The deer in the foreground stared at the camera, as if asking us: ** "You are the passers-by, right?" There is no fear in those eyes, only the calm of understanding and coexistence. In this instant, the boundaries between faith, human beings, and nature blurred, leaving only respect for life and silence of distance.

In this photo, I chose to depict the beehive-like wooden structure under the stage of Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto at an elevation angle. This is not only the ultimate display of architectural technology, but also a symbol of the embodiment of faith. For thousands of years, these trees have supported countless prayers and hopes, and they still silently support the steps and hearts of many people today. The sky is clear, the clouds are thin and light, as if time has slowed down its breathing. This moment is a balanced beauty achieved by architecture and nature, past and present.

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.
