Zuihitsu is a genre of Japanese literature consisting in loosely connected personal essays and fragmented ideas. Thus, works of the genre should be considered not as traditionally planned literary pieces but rather as casual or randomly recorded thoughts. This study is produced in the Zuihitsu style and offers a stream-of-consciousness photographic essay that allows the mind to skip from one topic to the next. In the manner of a Zuihitsu, the pictures look at what are the presuppositions of traditional Japanese aesthetics: suggestion, regularity, simplicity and perishability, without excludeing exaggeration, uniformity, profusion and durability. Through this narrative, a philosophy of harmony with Nature is emerging, valuing the symbolic representation rather than the realistic description, and where the elegance of simplicity or the ephemeral beauty of the world are central components.
