Title: Ichigo Ichie — Kyoto, 2025
Ichigo ichie (一期一会) means ‘one time, one meeting’ ; the Japanese concept of treasuring the unrepeatable nature of a moment. I had this feeling when two young people in kimono were walking toward the shrine, laughing together as if the crowd around them didn’t exist. Often, religion is associated with quietness and seriousness, but here it was marked by joy and togetherness. Just as quickly as it began, the moment disappeared, just as the phrase implies.
On Paper:
Printed as a pigment giclée on Canson Infinity Baryta Prestige II 340g, chosen for this photograph. The size shown is the paper size, the image fills roughly 85% of it. All prints come unframed.
Edition of 30, signed & numbered. Printed and shipped from France. Full details on the About Page.
Thank you so much!
