The Design

About The Japanese Forest La Photographie

La forêt japonaise est prise dans une perspective religieuse japonaise. L'une des anciennes religions japonaises est l'animisme. L'animisme est une croyance que les créatures non humaines, les natures mortes (minéraux, artefacts, etc.) et les choses invisibles ont également une intention. La photographie est similaire à cela. Masaru Eguchi tourne quelque chose qui fait ressentir le sujet. Les arbres, l'herbe et les minéraux ressentent la volonté de la vie. Et même les artefacts tels que les barrages qui sont restés longtemps dans la nature ressentent la volonté. Tout comme vous voyez la nature intacte, l'avenir verra le paysage actuel.

Production Technology
The technology required for "The Japanese Forest" is digital retouching. Digital retouching has made it possible to achieve both nostalgia and newness. With this work, He was able to create colors that could not be achieved with film.
Design Challenge
The difficulty with this project is that forests are decreasing in Japan. Japanese forests were destroyed by economic growth in the 1960s. Replanted with fast-growing trees, Japanese forests have become similar.
Research
Type of study: animism, eight million gods. Research purpose: To preserve the existing landscape in the future. Methodology: photography. Tools: Japanese classic books. Influence of design: The more unique the country landscape, the more universal the beauty.
Inspiration
One of the beginnings of Japanese religion is the "Yaoyorozu-no-kami". "Yaoyorozu-no-kami" is the belief that there is a god in all things in nature, and it is introduced in foreign countries as "Animism" or "Shinto". Shooting is similar to "Animism". Trees, minerals, and dead grass feel the will of life, and even if an artifact like a dam is left in nature for a long time, it will feel the will of life. Just as we see untouched nature, the future people see the current scenery.
Project Duration
The project was created between 2013 and 2015. And it was released on eguchimasaru.com.
Operation Flow
This work reminds the user of the view of nature stored in the gene. This work suggest a discussion about what is needed for the future art. This is the role of the work.
