Mitsuhiko Imamori “The Rural Story of Light: The Road to Environmental Farmers”
Mitsuhiko Imamori's new challenge is to become a farmer and to restore the degraded land as a satoyama environment. In the corner where the beautiful terraced rice field named “Hikari no Den” spreads,
I struggle to get back the farmland full of vitality.
A spectacular fight with the bamboo basket that was left unattended, gifts from old trees and mountain gods.
A record of the challenge to regain the “beautiful scenery that a photographer living in a satoyama gives to the future”. .
