[About Daylight]
“Light” is a mysterious existence as it seems visible but it
is invisible. Through my photography, I've been searching
to substantiate the “temperature” which light
enfolds within itself. In my pursuit for a bright place, I had
an opportunity to know about Amami (Southern island of
Japan). The place was not only bright and warm with full
of dazzling light, but also surrounded by warm people.
Now, I found the same atmosphere just like Amami in the
north of Japan, Tsugaru.

[About Blue]
Not long after I begun photography, may be because they were
monochrome photographs, I was impressed strongly by
the “after image of light” rather than the particular subject in
the picture. It is like an accident when I find in a photograph,
the color and fragrance in harmony together with little feeling
of myself. I might have been always looking for somewhat
called “temperature” within the indistinctive world my daily
life. It was neither abstract nor concrete, but was
just like a dream.
