A Shiga-born photographer Reiko Yagi has always been pointing her lens at Lake Biwa, Ja-pan’s largest lake in Shiga Prefecture. Standing alone in front of her work, you could feel as if you were in the scene yourself as the real world around you was fading away.
The ethereal atmosphere of her artwork will lead you to somewhere far away― somewhere in an immemorial past when the lake was not yet given its name, or maybe a place deep inside you where you have something inexpressible.
Caught up in the incessant business of your daily life, you might hardly find time to go deep inside yourself. Yagi’s works, however, will let you think even of the day when you will leave this world.
Viewed through her photos, which exude warmth and tenderness, the journey to the other world appears peaceful.
Among many photographers taking picture of Lake Biwa, only few can capture the lake in such scenery―as seen in Yagi’s works―that goes straight to viewers’ hearts. In a modern world flooded with information, we might easily lose ourselves. Yagi’s artwork may be a ray of light that illuminates our forgotten self.
More obviously, Lake Biwa itself seems delighted to be photographed by Yagi, so as to touch people’s hearts..”
BIWAKO BIENNALE General Director Yoko Nakata
Here are details about the work of Japanese artist Reiko Yagi.
The objects of Reiko Yagi interest are intimate environmental connections. Places and spaces of her fine art landscapes talk of the irreversible flows of life. She reaches the wisdom and beauty of imperfections with the simplicity, tranquility, and naturalness. Reiko Yagi derives her photography from the philosophical principles of the Zen tradition and her fine art landscapes reflect the ‘Wabi and Sabi’ aesthetic concept of appreciating beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete" in nature. She discreetly suggests qualities of impermanence, asymmetry, and imperfection. A pinhole camera without lenses is the tool she uses to render these emotions.
The artwork is printed from the color Analog on custom handmade Ise-Washi paper, conferring a special material quality to the photograph.

Reiko Yagi
Japanese photographer Reiko Yagi derived her photography from the philosophical principles of the Zen tradition. Her fine art landscapes reflect the ‘Wabi and Sabi’ aesthetic concept. She discreetly suggests us qualities of impermanence, asymmetry, and imperfection. A pinhole camera without lenses is a natural and most reasonable
choice.
The objects of her interest are an environmental issue. Places and spaces of her fine art landscapes are the irreversible flows of life. She reaches the wisdom and beauty of imperfections with the simplicity, tranquility, and naturalness.
Those are the main aesthetic principles that we can amplify in her images. Her photos made as modest and rustic but harmonized fragments of the bigger picture. Reiko Yagi focuses on the slightly blurred fragments of the landscapes that refer the self-imposed isolation and imperfection as a matter of the choice. The style she built is the contentment with the simple things and contemplative principles. With the melancholic intuitive beauty, Reiko Yagi reveals the visual form we could easily compare with haiku poetry.
The accent of the Reiko Yagi fine art photography is on the spiritual level. Her landscapes exist as a private spiritual
journey. The atmospheres created as universal flux we usually call the circle of life. Senior Curator (Croatia EU), Photolucida Critical Mass 2018 prescreener and juror (Portland, Oregon US)

THE COLOR OF WATER
Lake Michigan blue sits at the pastel confluence of green, grey and cyan on the nearby shoreline. In truth, the color of the lake is as transitory as Chicago weather. The shade of blue is widely determined by the reflection of the sky above and the organic material and sediment carried below.
I recently learned that invasive mussel species have slowly transformed the lake from green to bluer over the past two decades. I often return to the water’s edge to document the color of a given day.
