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?

First Pilgrimage to the Shrine at Hakusan Higa Shrine It became a photo that made me feel like I was being watched over by a komainu. You don't get to see much blue sky in Ishikawa Prefecture in winter, so that's also the point of this photo!

At Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, I found a fortune teller for a beckoning cat.

Morning in Aizu When I was waiting for my friend to come out of the hotel, I took a picture from the hotel window. Sunrise shines partially, and you can feel the warmth in the cold.

Daily life in Fukushima After having dinner with my friends, I was on my way back to the hotel. I took a picture while waiting for a traffic light. Nothing is decorated, but the lights of the cars create a sense of warmth.

It was around 6:30 this morning at Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine.

This is a photo from when I went to Omiya Hikawa Shrine last month. Although there was sunshine, it was cold in the afternoon, so I bought a drink from a vending machine. "Vending machines don't have a lot of pees," she said, looking happy to have her favorite pees. After all, winter in Japan is a shiruko, isn't it?
