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.

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.

Small footprints This is usually a no-go area. However, the footprints 、、、 It was a world created not only by people, but also by various creatures.

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.

Beyond the Phantom Winter Icicles that are about to fall. Icicles that have endured in the cold for days and days. How far will it go?

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?

Today, I visited Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine to receive prayers for the New Year's Prayer for Good Luck. It is Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine around 6:30 in the morning. Luckily, I was able to receive a Marriage Jade.

New Year's Day 2025 at 6:30 a.m. Two cats warm each other in the cold of midwinter on the riverbank in the early morning, which is not popular. It is as if the body is dressed in pure white snow, and a quiet and peaceful time stream endlessly. Wonderful to welcome the new year Photographed two happy times a day.
