When and who sat on these chairs last time?
Do those chairs still drift in the memory of the days when they were still needed as chairs?

They say ev’rything can be replaced
Yet ev’ry distance is not near
So I remember ev’ry face
Of ev’ry man who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released      (Bob Dylan)

…Although I don’t like Bob Dylan, this song is very impressive.
But in this photo the light is coming from the east.

みわたせば はなももみぢも なかりけり うらのとまやの あきのゆふぐれ —藤原定家—

There are no flowers or autumn leaves around, in the autumn sunset of a thatched hut behind.
—Fujiwara no Teika—

Quoting this Waka-poem, I can say that almost all my photos are based on that thought. From subjects which have no beautiful flowers or attractive matter, I would like to make them beautiful or attractive, by controlling focus or angle or composition.

Our eyes can only see the scenery but the results of the photos can show us the beautiful scenes which actually exist in reality but are difficult to recognize.
