Japan Navigator

Ionushi aka Aurelio Asiain was already known to me because of his interesting blog (in Spanish) in which he mainly writes on Japanese literature. He often illustrates his posts with beautiful photo’s but until today I did not realize he is also a great photographer with a huge amount of must-see pictures on Flickr. Most of them were taken in Japan.

I can do no better than show you, so here are five of my favorites:

Our memory is longer than mine
(Mysterious… like Heian time travel)

Come again under the red umbrella
(Mesmerizing colors)

This is a state of mind
(A wonderful mood, the empty boats are like thoughts going around)

There is poetry in some poets
(Outstanding portrait)

Those footsteps, deep into the silence
(Slowly echoing footsteps on wintry Mt Koya)

By all means, visit Ionushi’s original Photostream at Flickr to enjoy more of these intelligent and subtle pictures – there are 2,245 of them!
