nunodaki

Hiroike is inspired by Japanese painting, which has been done in Japan since ancient times. He expresses Japanese landscapes, with their uniquely complex topography and climate and four distinct seasons, in the medium of photography with a unique aesthetic sense of "wabi" and "sabi" that is uniquely Japanese. Among his works, his black-and-white photographs inspired by "Suiboku-ga" (ink painting) are the ultimate in minimalism. He chooses landscapes with minimalistic beauty, expresses the form of the subject and the relationship between light and shadow by removing color, and further emphasizes minimalism with long exposures.

This photo is "nuno-daki" of the Yanagi Waterfalls in Fukui Prefecture, Japan.The word "nuno" means "cloth" in Japanese, and it is a graceful waterfall that spreads and falls down the rock face. Feel the water as it flows slowly and silently.
