Shokozan-Tokeiji Temple Project (1997 – )
“‘Komorebi’ – sunlight filtered through the leaves of trees” 木漏れ日
“Golden light descends
Dappled through autumn leaves
Nature’s soft embrace”
For over twenty-eight years I have visited Shokozn-Tokeiji Temple in Kita-Kamakura,
attempting to understand Kitaro Nishida’s statement “The absolute affirms itself through
its own negation” through the medium of photography.
Nishida has his grave here, as does Daitetz Teitaro Suzuki, the seer of Zen to the West.
Yasujiro Ozu is buried nearby.
