In Between Mountains and Oceans

In 2013, Ise Jingu, the center of Shinto belief in Mie Prefecture, Japan, will usher in the "Shikinen Shimbun" ceremony held every 20 years, and the shrine will be rebuilt using ancient architectural methods. This tradition that lasts for thousands of years symbolizes reverence and gratitude for nature. Photographer Masaaki Miyazawa recorded this precious palace relocation process with beautiful 4K high-definition photography. He also visited mountains and forests in various places and interviewed experts in different fields, conveying the Japanese philosophy of living in harmony with the mountains and the sea.
