Yama-Yoku #7 | Takaosan Aki

Takaosan, Tokyo, Japan Late in the afternoon, one of Takaosan's many forest trails glows with an ember warmth, late into the fall. 4820 x 6233 px ABOUT THE SERIES; "Yama-Yoku" is a collection of 9 pieces by the artist Radiapyon, featuring a spontaneous encounter with the mountains of Central Japan . An encounter that so captures and enchants the imagination, it begins a 3-year journey of engagement and immersion within the mountain trails and roads of Central Japan. I hope that captured within these works, flows the reinvigorated sense of awe, wonder and joy that sparked in the timeless and mysterious mountains of Japan during those three years. ( 2018-2021 ) "Yama-Yoku" ( 山浴 ) is wordplay on the Japanese term 'Shinrin-Yoku' ( 森林浴 ) - known as 'forest-bathing'.
