《Thoughts and relationship with the scenery and the work》
We created the ideal scenery by modifying our own “Gengo no Mori” with our own sensibilities,
While living and observing the scenery that we have created ourselves,
we try to observe it from a fixed point,
and as the seasons change,
we observe the symbolic scenery that appears each time. I record it and make it into a work.

This may be the opposite of the common practice of looking for beautiful scenery and taking photos while traveling.


I believe that it is only the final result of the time and effort spent in dialogue with the forest that
finally becomes a photograph.
Photography is just a method of expression, and
I believe that the scenery itself, which takes more than 10 years of effort to finally appear, is the work itself.

It takes a long time to create each photo.
The purpose is completely different from a quiet photo that collects the world's spectacular scenery, but
the actions and prayers themselves are the source of beauty, and
we are grateful for their power. I have been guided and overwhelmed many times.

It's not a flashy scenery, it's all
quiet scenery, but
if you like it, you can take it home and display it
I would appreciate it if you could face
the changes in your feelings and lifestyle.
