False Memory: Nagano

First in the trilogy of the "Memories Unlived" series: Three unique digital memories. A tribute crafted with care and nostalgia to unlived memories of Japan. A memory questioned. A windy day in Nagano, and you are out on an afternoon stroll. Time to take in some much needed sun as you've been cloistered away indoors so much this summer. A feeling of déjà vu takes a hold as you approach a short bridge laid over a swiftly flowing canal. You shake free of the false feeling of familiarity and the memory of it is swept away downstream.

Distant Memory: Ishikawa

Second in the trilogy of the "Memories Unlived" series: Three unique digital memories. A tribute crafted with care and nostalgia to unlived memories of Japan. A memory of the distant past. Your time in Ishikawa brings untold nostalgia and a somber smile on your face. It's been so long since you've had an adventure of exploration. Christened by the forest-side breeze, you travel along the rushing water of the canal and into the horizon.

Serene Memory: Kyoto

Third in the trilogy of the "Memories Unlived" series: Three unique digital memories. A tribute crafted with care and nostalgia to unlived memories of Japan. A memory to savor. In Kyoto, the daylight fades into early evening as seagulls sing on a nearby shore. Warmth still remains in the air as you watch light dance off the surf in the distance, while silence and serenity guide your mind to tomorrow. All things return to the sea.
