White Deer at the Beach

Beautiful Japanese Scenery

On this blog, I will gradually share some of the beautiful photographs of Japanese landscapes that I have taken over the years.

This photograph was taken on a beach on a peninsula in Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture.

This artwork was created for an event called the “Reborn-Art Festival,” which was held in 2017. Even today, the artwork remains quietly on display on the beach.

It stands approximately two to three times the height of an adult, and when you see it up close, it has a truly impressive presence.

The site is located near a local fishing port and can be a little difficult to find. Perhaps because of this, the area is usually very quiet and free from crowds. The deer standing peacefully in the silence creates a beautiful and almost sacred atmosphere.

The artwork is apparently scheduled to remain on display until the end of 2027, after which it is expected to be removed.

If you are interested, I highly recommend visiting the site in person.

By the way, Kinkasan Island, which can be reached by boat from this peninsula, is known as the place where gold was once mined for use in the construction of the Great Buddha of Nara. The island is also home to Koganeyama Shrine, which is believed to bring good fortune and prosperity, particularly in matters of financial luck. I highly recommend visiting the island and shrine as well.

I will continue to share many more photographs in the future, so I hope you will enjoy them.
