How to apply Wabi-Sabi to your photography. | Japanese Philosophies For Photography.

Thanks for the video, Toshiki!

My old Leica M240and the 50mm 1970 Ver2 1.4 lens - the blackpaint has faded and the brass is showing. The vented lens hood is dented and scuffed. But, perfectly imperfect for me. It has taught me Wabi - sabi.

Very nice video. Well done! I have been interested in biudhism for several years and in the wabi sabi concept in particular, applying it in my everyday life. I am happy with this reflection with photography. Thank you very much. There is an interesting book about zen and photography wrote by David Ulrich: Zen Camera: Creative Awakening with a Daily Practice in Photography. Probably you know already.

ありがとう !

Thank you for this video. I really like your perspective on the wabi sabi approach to life and photography. Greetings from Romania. I’ve been two times in Japan already and i am an admirer of your culture and country.

More videos like this! Beautifully done

"especiarry, naturarry" ;) interesting explanation on your philosophy. thanks.

your video grown more love to japanese culture for me, and we are all not perfect my frıend and that's why we are beautiful and colorf, have a nice day

Excellent. Humble and interesting words, no demonstration of any kind. Wabi-Sabi attitude goes straight to the point. I learned something i wish to practice now. Thank you.
Nice photos by the way.

yup!

Please tell what music was used in this video, it's gorgeous!

Maybe "rustic" is a suitable english translation?

Love this channel! It shows very few shots and rather explains the point philosophically which is very refreshing and just makes me want to go out and shoot!

I do understand myself better. Thank you for this video.

I don’t know if someone asked already, but what’s that beautiful song you used in the intro? Thank you in advance!!

When everyone around the world quotes 'Wabi Sabi' more confidently and liberally than stockbrokers quote Warren Buffet, this young man (more familiar than most with the ways of Japanese culture and phylosophy) says, "What is Wabi Sabi.....hmmmm...I dont know".
Humility, not confidence, is the great precursur to both learning and teaching. Thank you for reminding me this, Yukawa San.

Anyone who wants to expand their mind must, even just once, visit Japan and engage with the people there. It will enrich your life...

parthenon is bulit imperfect but gives the illusion of perfection. there are no right angles

Thank you.

All I know is damn…. Japanese people build some of the best things-cameras cars all sorts of electronics and not to mention the food is excellent. Just an awesome awesome culture I need to go visit Japan

It is the "beuty" of understanding the videp written narrative amongst the imperfection while remembering that perfection is unknown in evanescent beings as ourselves.

I was unsure how to describe my photographic interest, I did not have an English term but now I have a Japanese term, thank you.

Hi. Thrilled to stumble across your channel. It is refreshing to see a young man with such clear thinking, tackling the undoubtedly difficult terrain bridging Japanese philosophy and photography.
I love your thinking and honest storytelling.
Keep up the good work 👍 🙏

Yes, very helpful. Thank you

Wow. I’m blown away by this video and your perspectives on photography. Thanks so much for this work.

Such a nice piece of content, that is. Super enjoyable

What a discovery this channel! Love the editing, music and Japanese everything. Subscribed!

A resonant chord struck
The sun slips and moon flies
A shutter snaps like the twig of that moment

Thank you for your video! I’m really happy that I found your channel at this point of my photographic journey. I’ve started photography (and videography) some years ago during Covid-19. I heritaged my fathers old camera and got carried away. I’ve always wanted to do photography but before that it wasn’t possible. I’m also searching my connection to my japanese side (I’m hafu) in the aesthetics of Performing and visual Arts. I have done Contemporary Circus before so much of my topics are from that world. I hope to see much more content from you! It’s really refreshing and intriguing style you make your content that is really welcomed to this hasty world

The rust is the beauty.

Wonderful. Thank you.

Toshiki is a luvly spirit!

Amazing video, if you don't mind, what song did you use for the opening in the library portion? Learned a lot with emotions for my self and my photography in this. Thanks!

I enjoy your lessons and your interpretations. It is very interesting to me since I wasn't taught much about Eastern Culture in school.

This channel is dope!

Life would have been more joyful if i had applied "Wabi-Sabi" concept 20 years back during turmoil in the pursuit of phd education. However minimalism comes naturally through my self conscience.....appreciate Zen Buddhism and its impact on Japanese thought processes and culture.

Once again you both inspire and educate me - thank you immensely, Yukawa San!

A Photography teacher once told my class, " It is not the camera, it is the Photographer that makes the photo" Thank you for this video.

Thankyou... very helpful...

im so inspired by ur video! it looks so simple but we need an effort to get it! thanks

Bravo Toshiki. Brilliant piece 🙏

Thank you.

Absolutely love video. Toshiki, I an seeing at this time from Myanmar. I like your street video and learn it. There's very cool in Japan.
