Encountering fresh scenes on your travels and the comforting views you see every day. Landscape photography allows you to feel the history and culture nurtured there. It is closely tied to each person's memories, captivating people's gazes, and showing different expressions through the lens each time. This series highlights works that deal with such potential-rich landscapes.
Following the introduction of Japan's capital, 'Tokyo', and the energetic city 'Osaka', this time we focus on works shot in 'Okinawa', a place with an exotic atmosphere.
The Transparent Sky and Sea Are a Must-See #ocean
Welcome to Okinawa, a place with beautiful nature and a unique culture! This location, loved by many travelers, is sure to become a favorite of yours too.
As soon as you pass through the arrival gate, you'll feel the warm air and a colorful world. You'll want to check into your hotel quickly and dive into the sea as soon as possible, won't you?
Extraordinary Scenery Everywhere #street
After soaking in the sea breeze, take a stroll wherever your heart leads you. You'll find unusual vegetation and relaxed animals nearby.
It's perfectly fine to browse souvenir shops right after arriving at your destination. Enjoy at your own pace and have fun freely.
The Warmth of the Locals #local
If you venture a bit away from the center, you'll find a pleasantly calm quietness. Although Okinawa has many tourists, there are also people who live here every day. Experiencing the unique customs and culture that have continued from the historic Ryukyu Kingdom is wonderful.
Is the person fishing over there here every day? It takes a bit of courage, but let's try talking to them.
As the Sun Sets, a New Face Emerges #sunset
As it gets completely dark outside, it seems the surfers have returned to their lodgings. But, since we're here, let's gaze at the seascape until the sun fully sets. It's because it's a different space that we want to relax and escape from the hectic days.
As it gets closer to nighttime, you can hear the playful voices of children returning home. Shall we head back too? The fun journey continues, and if you haven't had enough, you can always come back.
