Description

Tanaka is attracted to a cultural heritage that is rapidly disappearing. As Japan becomes urbanized, adopting modern Western culture and architecture, old-fashioned structures like this thatched farmhouse are becoming rare sights. Tanaka travels throughout the countryside of western Japan, capturing a timeless serenity in idyllic landscape views.
