Located in the heart of Tokyo, Meiji Jingu is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. Surrounded by a vast forest cultivated from trees donated from across Japan, the shrine offers a sense of calm that feels far removed from the city beyond its gates.

This collection explores the relationship between architecture, nature, and ritual through torii gates, timber structures, ceremonial details, and moments observed throughout the shrine grounds. The contrast between monumental forms, seasonal greenery, and human presence reveals a space shaped by both tradition and time.

Captured in May, the fresh spring foliage and changing light bring depth to the landscape and reveal a quieter side of Meiji Jingu, observed through moments of architecture, nature, and everyday movement.
