The photography series Tokyo Gardens takes you on a visual tour of Tokyo’s gardens.
Photographed throughout the four seasons in both colour and black-and-white.
The series features 16 gardens in total spanning 400 years of history.
"Ijichi's photography not only capture tranquility of the gardens, it also evokes the landscape's rich cultural past. We are reminded that in the highly modernised and urbanised Tokyo, these gardens provide a zen-like refuge and a sense of connection to Japan's rich traditional culture."

NEW HOMES. IDENTITY AND BELONGING
This photographic project is about exploring the identity and belonging to a country by taking portraits of immigrants in their home environment.
I am photographing people from non-English speaking backgrounds who immigrated to Australia (preferably first generation, not born in Australia) and live in Sydney.
People can describe their cultural identity for example through language, clothes, food, customs, etc. but also they could express it through the choice of objects in the interior space of their houses, which is my main interest in this project.
Also, I asked the same questions to the subjects and their answers are used for the captions of the photographs.
