Snow Fairy Did you know that there is a snow fairy in Hokkaido? Its name is "Shimaenaga" Originally, this wild bird called Enaga resembled a long-handled ladle in appearance. The chief of the handle (e) → named Enaga In fact, there are long-tailed moths in Honshu, but this pure white subspecies of long-tailed moth only lives in Hokkaido That's why Hokkaido is called Shima.

When I was shooting at Kawasaki Daishi, there was a person with an atmosphere, so I called out to him. There were a lot of people there because it was the third day of the day, but miraculously, I was able to take a picture at the moment when the person was able to do it, and I was able to capture the atmosphere that this person had. What impressed me was that in the conversation, he said, "I'm very happy to be able to get older as I get older." It made me think that I would like to take this kind of "toshi". What do I want to be in the winter of the new year, from January?

Live with strength While driving in a car in Furano, I felt lonely in the Silver World. However, rather than loneliness, I was encouraged by the appearance of trying hard to survive alone in -20 degrees.
