This is a photo of the Kintai Bridge in Yamaguchi Prefecture when I visited it in the early morning of autumn. The frost left footprints in the air, and I felt that this place is still supporting people coming and going.

Today, it's the Great Exorcism of Xia Yue. It is a thatched circle of Kawagoe Hachimangu.

The current situation of the Ashio Copper Mine, which became a bald mountain due to the Ashio Copper Mine Poisoning Incident. Thanks to tree-planting volunteers who have been passed down to young people who can do hard work, greenery is reviving in Ashio.

The sacred tree that protects Kobe This photo was taken at Ikuta Shrine in the city of Kobe. Tucked away in the hustle and bustle of the city, this place was like a different world, and the sacred tree that hung there gave me a sense of mysterious power.

This photo was taken when I went to Ginyama Hot spring. It was the perfect summer resort for the hot and humid summer. It was cool near the waterfall as if the cooler was working.

This photo was taken with my best friend when I went to a festival Held in in the handmade Village Koi Township in Towada City, Aomori Prefecture. The wind chimes and the lanterns reflected in the back remind us of summer in Japan. It was the best night I was able to spend with my best friend in a bright, yet calm space in my last year in Aomori. Each other's faces, illuminated by the light of the lanterns, may have been a little lonely...

One quiet springtime afternoon, a cyclist pedals along the enchanting canopy of soft pink petals in full bloom in Sewaritei Yodogawa Riverside Park. Witnessing such scene before me felt like time seems to have paused as the spirit of serenity whispers through every falling blossom. This moment captures more than just motion; it reflects the harmony between nature and human presence, the quiet joy of spring and the enduring beauty of Japanese tradition. As the wheels turn gently over the petal-strewn path, the scene becomes a living haiku—fleeting, serene, and deeply moving. "Beneath cherry skies, Wheels hum through petals like wind, Spring breathes, then drifts on." - a haiku by the Lemonee

It is a water car in 😆 Asakura City, Fukuoka Prefecture

This is a photo of my mother and I when we went to Oka Temple in Nara to see hydrangeas. Of course, the hydrangeas were beautiful and wonderful, but I was very impressed by the stones struck by the waterfall standing dignified next to the hydrangeas. I thought that this kind of scenery is the beauty of Japan that has not changed in the past and even now, and that it has been passed down from generation to generation along with the uninterrupted Water.

This is a photo I took when I went to see the cherry blossoms with my friends. I was able to take a very beautiful picture with a cloudless blue sky that seemed to attract cherry blossoms.

This photo was taken at a campsite deep in the mountains. and the "Water Car hut" that was used in the past, even if the Water Car is gone, only the "shaft" remains, and I felt as if I had been taught the importance of the core. Even though the water car is gone, if there is an "axis" (core), it can convey something. I like that feeling.
