"Leaf: Messages from Leaves: A Photo Collection by Shigenori Hayashi" Shigenori Hayashi / Natsu Watanabe Price: ¥2667 The DVD is unopened. This is the first photo collection by Shigenori Hayashi, a photographer who has been active for 40 years. The collection features numerous photographs expressing the four seasons over a year, from November 2008 to November 2009, with the overwhelming layout and lighting of leaves and petals. The included DVD contains a collaborative video of sound and photos with Motoyuki Makino, a leading figure in Alchemy Crystal Bowls. Please be healed by the video and sound. It all began in November 2008, when I picked up a single red leaf under the cherry blossom trees of Aoyama Cemetery on my way from Shinano-machi to Nishi-Azabu, where my company was located at the time. From the spring blossoms and fresh greenery, to midsummer, autumn leaves, and falling leaves. And then the beginning of spring, welcoming a new breath. I was moved by the colors and beauty of the shapes of each small leaf and petal. I followed the changes of the four seasons for a year until November 2009, and felt the vitality in the expressions they showed at each moment, and captured them in photographs, resulting in these works.
