About The Japanese Forest Sary

Ny ala japoney dia nalaina avy amin'ny fomba fijery japoney. Iray amin'ireo fivavahana japoney taloha ny Animism. Ny Animism dia mino fa tsy olombelona, zavamananaina, minifika, artifika sns ... ary zavatra tsy hita maso manana finiavana. Ny sary dia mitovy amin'izany. Masaru Eguchi dia mitifitra zavatra izay mahatonga fahatsapana ao amin'ilay lohahevitra. Mahatsiaro ny sitrapon'ny fiainana ny hazo, ahitra ary mineraly. Ary na ny zavakanto toy ny tohatra izay navelany nandritra ny fotoana ela aza dia mahatsapa ny sitrapony. Tahaka ny hitanao ny toetra tsy voarindra, ny ho avy dia hahita ny fisehoana ankehitriny.

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.
