Day's end at Ohama Beach Amami Oshima, Kagoshima When I moved to Japan just a few months ago, I had never thought about living on an island before. The move was overwhelming at first, but that made my trip to see the sunset at Ohama Beach even more wonderful. This picture captures the simple beauty of life on the island, with its bountiful nature and kind people. Now, when I listen to famous songs like Begin's 「島人ぬ宝」 and The Boom's 「島歌」, I can better understand the complex feelings and love that those musicians have for their homes. It is a simple joy that I wish everyone can experience and share with those around them in their daily lives.

It is a nationally designated important cultural property in the Imperial Palace, the former Edo Castle Outer Sakurada Gate. The outer Sakurada Gate is famous for the "Sakurada Gate Outside Incident" of the assassination of Naoya Ii by the ronin of the Mito clan in 1860. This incident was caused by the suppression carried out by the shogunate, the "Great Prison of Ansei". After the incident, the authority of the shogunate was lost, and the Edo period, which lasted 265 years, came to an end.

It is a Japanese antelope that I met when I went to Okutama Town, Tokyo. He gave me a look at the camera, so I took a picture. The Japanese antelope is a herbivorous mammal endemic to Japan that lives in Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, excluding Hokkaido and the Chugoku region. The scientific name is Capricornis crispus, which belongs to the subfamily Goats of the artiodactyl bovine family. Due to overfishing, the number has decreased, and it was designated as a special natural monument of Japan in Showa 30. From the summer of 2022 to the fall of 2023, I went to Okutama about four times, and I was able to meet two of them, so I think there is a good chance that we will meet.
