④ WORDS / Hougu Kawakami
There are many different religions in the world, but all of them preach “Light” and “Life.”
Light and life are essential and important elements in religion, which is the work of the human mind. I think it is the basis of everything.
Also, there can be no photographs without light and life, and there are no photographs that do not include light and life.
I believe that light and life are essential and fundamental elements in the expression of photography.
Kenji Ishiguro’s photographs capture various scenes from around the world.
They are also scenes that reflect eternal “light and life.”
“AMITA” means eternity and infinity, but it also means wonder.
Mr. Ishiguro’s photographs reveal the wonderful world of “lightandlife” as it is.
