The Japanese Forest
"The Japanese Forest" is taken from a Japanese religious perspective. One of the Japanese ancient religions is Animism. Animism is a belief that non-human creatures, still life (minerals, artifacts, etc.) and invisible things also have an intention. Photography is similar to this. Masaru Eguchi is shooting something that makes feeling in the subject. Trees, grass and minerals feel the will of life. And even artifacts such as dams that left in nature for a long time feel the will. Just as you see the untouched nature, the future will see the present scenery.
The Japanese Forest Photography by Masaru Eguchi was featured as an outstanding representation of communication design by the A' Design Awards. The Japanese Forest Photography was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in Photography and Photo Manipulation Design in 2020. The A' Photography and Photo Manipulation Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design award which celebrates outstanding design of portraits, landscapes, still lifes, photojournalism, fashion shots, architectural images, wildlife captures, sports events and more.
