I headed to the mountaintop of Mt.Kongo at the boundary between Goryo city in Nara Prefecture and Chihaya Akasaka Village in Osaka. Mt.Kongo is known as holy mountain for the “SHUGEN-DO” that is the ancient Japanese progression.Founder of “SHUGEN-DO” named En-no-Gyoja trained at this mountain. Moreover, it is also known as the roots of Masashige Kusunoki. He was the captain of the Kamakura period who was good at guerrilla warfare. When I arrived in Osaka, I entered the mountain to ascertain the nature power of Osaka. There is no deeds, but the rally lamp glows at the mountain lords brought to morning fog.
───Commentary
Where should I stop REC? I felt the difficulty and uncertainty of stopping it and conflict to climb the mountain again, rather than taking a picture. On that day, the expression of the morning mist I shot that will never appear again. But, I witnessed and turned the camera. On the next day as well as the next day, that morning fog will show different expressions. But, I never saw it. My original experiences in digital cinema.
