b. 1989, Yokohama, Japan
Spent his early childhood in the United States and Canada.
In the spring of 2011, following the Great East Japan Earthquake,
he began photographing with the desire not to lose sight of the fleeting scenes of everyday life.
Over time, his motifs have drawn from reflections on time, absence, loss, and early experiences of childhood,
opening toward questions of how to remain beside the memories of others and to be with them.
This practice becomes an attempt to touch voices before they sink into oblivion,
and a quiet endeavor to hold together fragmented time
Author of A RED HAT (AKAAKA, 2020).
Received the 36th Higashikawa Awards for Special Photographer of the Year (Japan) in 2020.
