Artist Statement:
The seasonal landscapes, flowers, buildings, and moments of beauty that I capture in my photographs at any given time are folded, sometimes changing form, and secretly coexist within a single work. In recent years, I have been projecting the unique beauty of Japan, especially the essence of traditional music, philosophy, and literary works, into my work.
