I graduated from the Department of Spatial Design, Junior College of Art and Design, Musashino Art University. For more than 25 years I have managed a digital creative production company, working as a digital marketing strategist and creative director. Over this period I have directed numerous campaigns and projects that received recognition, including multiple advertising awards, while collaborating with a wide range of clients in Japan and abroad. Alongside my commercial career, I have remained active as a photo artist, pursuing the universal theme of the dignity and preciousness of human life. My representative work Cambodian Taxi Driver (2010), a photo-essay film combining still photographs and music, was selected as the opening premiere of the Cambodia International Film Festival 2010. The work was also invited by cultural and educational organizations in Hawaii, including volunteer groups and non-profit institutions. In my artistic vision, color photography serves as a record that revives the colors of memory, capturing fragments of daily life and travel with vivid resonance. My monochrome work, by contrast, is rooted in the Japanese sensibility that “spirits dwell in all things,” exploring a sense of sacred dignity within landscapes and human existence. My photographic philosophy is rooted in a cinematic approach that seeks to carry narrative presence within a single frame. By weaving light, shadow, and traces of human existence into my work, I strive to create images that evoke the atmosphere and passage of time. I am drawn to the idea that everything eventually decays, and I find beauty in what is aged, weathered, or imperfect. In composition, I value not only the clarity of reduction but also the richness that emerges from complexity, where a sense of wabi-sabi can be found. Rather than aiming for perfection, I see dignity and narrative depth in the natural spaces and imperfections that remain. For me, photography exists as a visual story that speaks to the viewer, transcending the notion of static documentation. I have exhibited works at galleries in Ginza and in year-round displays at local cultural spaces. Today, I am engaged in a daily project of remastering and publishing more than twenty years of digital photographic archives, shared in both color and black and white through social media. This ongoing process allows me to rediscover the continuum of my own visual history while offering audiences a renewed perspective on memory and time. Looking ahead, I am preparing new projects in Asia, particularly Cambodia, to document social transformation and human resilience while continuing to explore the intersection of documentary realism and artistic expression.
