"Otari - Pristine Peaks (Signed)," a collection of works by Keiko Nomura, one of Japan's leading female photographers, is a noteworthy work that won the 28th Tadahiko Hayashi Award. It's a documentary about Otari, a small village in Nagano Prefecture, located at the foot of the Northern Alps. The village is almost entirely covered in forest, and its inhabitants live off the bounty of the mountains' rich natural environment. These mountain people give thanks to the "mountain gods," pray for abundance and safety through ancient rituals, and wish to spend their lives in the mountains. And then there's the woman who married into this mountain community. "Here, I can see my family's faces clearly, work, raise children, and live each day together. It's wonderful to grow our own food. That's the way of life I've always wanted" (excerpt from the text). These are people who love nature, are grateful for it, and live in harmony with it. A way of life that was once commonplace has now become very rare, but it embodies love for nature, love for humanity, and love for family. This way of life may actually be the most important thing, the thing we must never lose. Limited edition of 1000 copies. Signed by the photographer .
