Miori Inata
I
graduated from the Fine Arts University in Japan, and worked there as a Fine
Arts teacher. In 1991, I moved to New York and lived there for the next
seventeen years. Living in New York, I was exposed to the essence of art in
the sheer abundance and variety all around me which awakened me as an
artist. It made me think deeply which direction human beings should go, which path the Gods around the world would direct us. I wanted to stand in the places considered the place of prayer to understand. I visited the holy places in the world, continuing to take photographs of each place to see if I could find any answers. Then I went to the Ise Shrine of Japan, and here I realized that human beings have been supported by nature itself, and the deep reverence for nature brought a quiet feeling of deep understanding, of a sense of harmony and peace. I have been taking up the photographing of the Ise Shrine as my lifework since then. I won a Shinto cultural prize in 2015.
