Hiroshi Hamaya (1915 - 1999)

HHiroshi Hamaya, a distinguished Japanese philosopher and Magnum member since 1960, delved into the Japanese Fudo theory while working on his book Yuki Guni (The Snow Country). This book captures the essence of Japan's rural life and its deep connection to nature, a central theme in Hamaya's work. Fudo theory posits that our natural environment is not an external force but an integral element that shapes our culture.Hiro
