    My name is Alex Novo, I’m a photographer.

    The world without photography will be meaningless to us if there is no light and color, which opens up our minds and expresses passion.

    The statues which were sculpted by Shoun Genkei, a Buddhist monk, date back to 400 years ago in Edo period. Their unique beauty tells the history. The restoration is a response to the wishes of those who wants to pass them down to the next generations. Michiko Chiyoda was struck by his work and came to document the process. In the midst of the destruction and loss of many valuable cultural properties worldwide, we should once again pay homage to each history and culture as a common asset of all humankind, and pass on our precious cultural heritage to the future.
