| Tokyo Gardens takes us on a visual tour of the Japanese capital’s gardens, photographed throughout the four seasons in both colour and black-and-white. |
| |
The series features 14 gardens spanning 400 years of history, the oldest of which was built in the 17th century. Ijichi’s photographs not only captures the tranquil beauty of the gardens, it also evokes the landscape’s rich cultural past. Through photography, he attempts to travel back as close as possible to the times these gardens were created and showcase the traditional beauty within them.
Tokyo Gardens reminds us that in a highly modernised and urbanised Tokyo, the city’s gardens provide a zen-like refuge and a sense of connection to Japan’s rich traditional culture. |
