This project is a long-term one about the esthetic value of the man-made objects built on the lake shores or coastlines and the way they pertain to the landscapes.
Over time, the structures left alongside or above the water deeply affect the perception of the landscape one can have. They gradually belong to the landscape until they are completely mingled.
These remains deeply call me to mind for their singular expression and sometimes for their spiritual presence. To me, this ‘unwitting esthetics’ of the man-made constructions contributes to the beauty of the Japanese coastlines.
This continuous project has started in 1995. Some important places or man-controlled natural sceneries such as the island of Hokkaidō, Lake Biwa, Uradome Coast and the islands around Kyushu have been particularly inspiring.
