Hiroshi Takai focuses on his home village of Ichijima in Tamba, Hyogo Prefecture, where he has lived and worked as a farmer since 2006 and has an intricate bond with the region, its nature and its dangers. In August 2014 exceptionally heavy rainfall caused a landslide that devastated buildings and swept away fields. The black-and-white photographs document the lasting impact of the disaster, but also capture the beauty of the landscape, the combination of different trees and flowers and the patterns formed in fields when the wind blows over them, and details of Ichijima's decelerated agricultural way of life. The title is a coinage: yato is a valley-like terrain formed by the erosion of hills and suited to farming, and januke, written snake-slip in kanji, means a mudslide. In praise of humanity, Takai photographed the community's journey from disaster recovery to reconstruction, sensing in the devastated landscapes the vitality to return to their original state.
