"Smell of expectation to get a new recognition" When I pick up a book and open it, I smell paper and ink. This smell prepares my expectation for a new story experience. When I have finished reading a book, I will have a new vision of the world in my mind. So I expect this feeling when I open and smell a book. This smell compels me to read the book to get a new vision, recognition and experience. The smell of a book takes me to such a fantastic world. This is the wonderful way of expression of books.

"Language of the stones" These stones don't talk like human beings. But they talk to us in different way. The stones stay in the same place and in the same position for a very long time. They don't complain at all, just accept their circumstance, and stay there for years and years... We can learn from them such an attitude and stable mind to accept things as they are. If you try to learn something from stones, you can receive a message from their attitude. This is the way for them to communicate with us. (11 MB / 4896 x 3672 pixel JPEG photo)

"Fragrance of honeysuckle / Memory of early summer" When I walk around my house at the end of May, I smell very nice sweet fragrances. Before the rainy season in June. These fragrances remind me of the start of the rainy season. The fragrance of honeysuckle tells me early summer is coming. Fragrances are a very good means of expression as well as pictures, music... It draws immediately the memory of "honeysuckle = early summer". It's the specific way of fragrance corresponding to memory. Fragrances remind me of the impression of what I felt: emotion, the five senses and all feeling, not only smell. I think it's a very strong expression. When I say the word "expression", you may imagine a visual one. If you can find such expression as in honeysuckle, you will find a more beautiful expression of nature in your world. When humans express their impression of nature, it becomes art. This is what I am doing in this photo. I hope you will know this sweet fragrance in real life and try to understand the complexity of your senses. Then that will show you a beautiful true world. (10 MB / 4896 x 3672 pixel JPEG photo)

"Blue sky and white cloud" I say "blue sky, white cloud", but there is not only one shade of blue and white. There are many types of blue and white in this photo. Words are not perfect to express what I feel. In daily life we use words without consciousness. What we feel is more than the words. Touch of the wind, smell and taste of the air, sounds of birds and bugs and so on. We tend to think we understand what words mean. But in fact, what we feel is by using all of the human senses, through our view of life and now and here is only in the moment of now. If you feel the world with such a mind with consciousness, you will find something in your life. There may be even fairies and angels... (8 MB / 4896 x 3672 pixel JPEG photo)
