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.

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

Fushimi Inari Taisha 68 Fukakusa Yabunouchi-cho, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto-shi, Kyoto Fushimi Inari Taisha, which attracts attention from overseas pilgrims, is also called "Inari-san". It is the main shrine of Inari Shrine, which is said to have about 30,000 shrines nationwide, and is popular with people all over the country, regardless of age or gender. The beautiful "Senbon Torii (shrine gate)" with its bright vermilion color creates a fantastic and graceful scene. The messenger of the gods at Inari Shrine is a fox. At the Keihama Fushimi Inari Shrine, which I visit Prayer this time, such a stone statue of a fox welcomes Worshippers. There are 108 of them!!
