Autumn Walk in Takaraga-Ike, Kyoto

(video by HANAFUBUKI)

I have long hesitated to post this video on my blog. It is so perfect that I feel like I didn't have the courage; like I would stop here for ever.

Usually, associations with other artists come to my mind while I'm watching a movie or a video. Here I cannot: any comparison with great masters is here simply impossible. It's HANAFUBUKI in her stunning uniqueness.

Purity of black and white and gentle colors; gradual approach to abstract, the abstract essence of trees, and branches, and waters...

Her walk in Takaraga-Ike, her road toward sublime.
