Between Stillness and Flight
During my journey, I was fortunate enough to encounter a young wild deer.
For a brief moment, it stopped and looked directly at me before disappearing back into the forest.

Purification Water
In the quiet shade of a Japanese shrine, water flows from bamboo spouts. A place of purification where water, wood, stone, and silence come together.

We live with seven cats, and photographing them is also a way of preserving our memories together. From tomorrow, I’ll be away photographing landscapes, so I’ll take a short break from posting. I’ll share new work again soon.

A quiet gaze, held between light and shadow.
What draws me here is not simply the beauty of the cat, but the sense of presence in the eyes — calm, direct, and almost timeless.

Traditional temple architecture framed by the soft lines of a willow tree.
I was drawn to the contrast between the ordered structure of the building and the organic movement of nature.

Where Structure Meets the Sky.
Repeating beams, geometric rhythm, and a movement that seems to rise beyond the architecture itself.
I was drawn to the way order gradually opens into space.

White World
A landscape dissolving into light.
Willows, distant architecture, and a small human presence remain as delicate traces in a nearly white world.

A quiet view framed by willow branches.
The vermilion architecture stands beneath a soft sky, while the hanging leaves add a sense of movement and depth to the still scene.

Repeating lines, warm light, and quiet structure.
I was drawn to the rhythm created by the wooden beams and the depth that continues into the distance.

Suzakumon Gate — Nara, Japan
A quiet view beneath a wide September sky. The vermilion gate, soft clouds, and greenery created a scene that felt both open and timeless.
