The Role of Visual Arts and Media

The mention of "Resimleri" (images) in the context of seeing Japan through Turkish eyes suggests the importance of visual media and arts in shaping perceptions.

• Tea Ceremony (茶道, sadō): The morning tea (朝茶, asacha) is prepared in a serene setting, with the sunrise serving as the backdrop for mindfulness.
• Literature & Poetry: Classical haiku often reference sunrise, e.g., Bashō’s famous line “古池や蛙飛び込む水の音” (the old pond—frog jumps—sound of water), which, while not explicitly about dawn, conveys the crisp clarity associated with early‑day moments.

Presentation formats and steps

• Print: choose matte archival paper, 30×45 cm prints, spaced with 4–5 cm white margins; group in triptychs for key moments.
• Digital: sequence into a linear slideshow with 3–5 second display per image; add minimal ambient sound (wind, distant train) if desired.
• Exhibition: hang at eye level (center ~150 cm), use soft directional gallery lighting, include a short wall text (30–40 words) that hints at "i---" as a fragment of memory.
• Captioning: use concise captions — title, location (if known), year; avoid explanatory essays that over-interpret.
