The Design
About The Japanese Forest Fotografi
Se Forest Japonè a te pran nan yon pèspektiv relijye Japonè yo. Youn nan relijyon yo Japonè ansyen se Animism. Animism se yon kwayans ki non-moun bèt, toujou lavi (mineral, zafè, elatriye) ak bagay envizib tou gen yon entansyon. Fotografi se menm jan ak sa a. Masaru Eguchi ap tire yon bagay ki fè santi nan sijè a. Pye bwa, zèb ak mineral santi volonte nan lavi. E menm zafè tankou baraj ki te kite nan lanati pou yon tan long santi volonte a. Menm jan ou wè nati a intact, tan kap vini an pral wè peyizaj la prezan.

- 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.
