These are really great, modillustr
Thanks for introducing his work

I like that he emphasizes the environment much more
and it makes the person in them so small

i agree, gius. his landscape is incredibly 'present' and luminescent, be it organic or anorganic

Some explainations about the nice title of his book...

On the top of the english title there is a "kanji" (chinese character also used in japanese writing)In japanese,it is pronounced "mori" and means "forest".
This character itself is made of the three same character.
木

This character alone is pronounced "ki"and means "a tree"

When you write this character twice, it is pronounced "hayashi" and means "many trees"
林

So, when you write it three times it becomes ..." a forest"
森
Then "Three (drawned))trees make a forest"

I hope you can read the "kanji" I have included in this post.
