I took an interest in mountain climbing in my teens and spent all my time climbing mountains in Japan and abroad.  I also put a camera in my climbing sack and began taking photos as a record.  The real world of life and death I faced on the mountains had a big influence on my subsequent photography.  I now base myself in themes of mountains and nature, and spend my days clicking the shutter in the hope of filling my photographs with the colors of that fleeting, beautiful, precious light that connects nature and people. In my life, I want to encounter sights that stir my soul―and leave behind photos that stir the souls of those who see them.
