Shot at Sakitama Kofun Park, famous for cherry blossoms blooming on top of burial mounds in Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture. At night, there was a clear weather forecast and I took out my camera and appreciated the cherry blossoms and starry sky under the cold sky. The rays of light running down the stairs were caused by the flashlights held in the hands of the students who came to admire the cherry blossoms at night. I really like the way the rays bounce and ripple as you descend the stairs, as if to express that the students were also enjoying this space. I also find the contrast between the pale lines of the background drawn by the stars and the intense light of artificial light interesting.

Photographed on 2023.04.09 at Oyama Senmaida, Kamogawa City, Chiba Prefecture. I wanted to experience something spring-like scenery, so I went to Chiba Prefecture to see the water mirror of the terraced rice fields. You can only see the clean water mirror for a limited period of time until the farmer plants the rice. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a spring tradition.
When the sky deep in the mountains begins to light and the water surface of the terraced rice fields begins to receive the light of the sky, morning finally begins for the animals. The chirping of birds and the chirping of frogs can be heard more actively. "There are still dark shadows in the visible world, but morning is certainly approaching." I wanted to convey such an atmosphere through photographs, so I captured the gentle rotation of light in the darkness.

Photographed on 2023.04.22 in the Nohira area of Hakuba Village, Nagano Prefecture. It is a famous shooting place where you can take pictures of the Go-Tateyama mountain range and a single cherry blossom, but the number of tourists is sparse at dusk, and I myself was watching the sun set over the mountain alone. It was a wonderful sight to see the clouds that had been hanging faintly over the mountain gradually turning red. The cherry blossoms standing there seemed to be quietly praising the situation, and I projected my impressed but slightly lonely feelings on this one cherry blossom while admiring this magnificent scenery alone.
In order to contrast the grandeur of the Go-Tateyama mountain range with the loneliness of the single cherry blossoms, I placed the single cherry blossoms around the lower left of the four divisions.
