A proposal space to live with art.

This is not a "photograph" in the conventional sense. In Japanese, the word *photography* is translated as *shashin*—literally "capturing the truth"—a term likely coined during the era of Yukichi Fukuzawa. More than a century has passed since then; alongside the evolution of equipment and modes of expression, a vast array of experimental artistic approaches has emerged worldwide. Yet, despite Japan being a powerhouse of camera manufacturing, the prevailing concept of photography remains rooted in the idea of ​​"capturing the truth." My own vision of photography, however, derives from its etymology: *photo* (light) and *graph* (drawing)—essentially, a picture painted with light. One might even call it "light drawing."　Photography by Hidetoshi Shinohara
