Kuromai
This macro photograph of kuromai, also known as black rice or “forbidden rice,” captures the rich purplish-black hue that once made this grain exclusive to Chinese emperors and the wealthy elite. Its dark color comes from anthocyanin, the antioxidant responsible for vibrant shades in foods like eggplant, blueberries, and acai berries. In this close-up, the intricate ridges and subtle purple reflections of the rice are brought to life, offering a unique perspective of something so small. This image is part of the Intention and Detail exhibition, which showcases the beauty of traditional Japanese cuisine through a zoomed-in lens.
