Umeda under a cloudless blue sky on the morning of May 30, 2026.
This work consists of 103 photographs taken in just thirty minutes before 11 a.m.
It is not often that Umeda, the very heart of Osaka, reveals itself with such brightness, clarity, and lightness.
The lines of the buildings, the blue of the sky, the reflections of light, and the presence of people moving through the city.
All of them formed the vivid beauty that only Umeda on a perfectly clear day can possess.
The music is Prokofiev’s Classical Symphony, performed by the NHK Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Nodoka Okisawa.
Clear, lively, and dignified, this performance matches the light of Umeda on this day with extraordinary naturalness.
The video length is 16 minutes and 21 seconds.
The 103 photographs are arranged in accordance with the flow of the music.
Umeda under a cloudless blue sky on the morning of May 30, 2026.
This is a photographic work preserving the light of that single moment.
