“The Japanese word "Junpaku" has two different english words,pure white and snow white. I wrote beautiful snow view which is the season of Tancho's RIMUSE ( Japanese Crane 's dance in Ainu.) is "Junpaku". The Tancho is more than white rather than beautiful snow. I strongly drawn to this white.”

“You can see trout returning and jumping up the rivers in east Hokkaido from July to the middle of September.The “run-up”nothing short of amazing,as the trout go against the current and jump up waterfalls. In their fourth, they go down the river, and then at their life’s close, swim back upstream to lay eggs, which is the single important event i their lives.

If you have witnessed their struggle, you will see it is not easy to run up the river.

The photograph depicts their sleek beauty and internal fortitude as they attempt to fulfill their life’s purpose.

I wish I could capture some of the trout’s energy and keep it in a bottle for myself, and really learn what it means to treasure every passing moment from the force of their trek upstream.

Elegantly jumping up the waterfall as if dancing, the trout’s frame glistened with the brilliant color of cherry blossoms in the natural light.It is the essence of a life that doesn’t hesitate to meet any challenge and never gives in.”
