b. 1989, Yokohama, Japan
spent his early childhood in the United States and Canada.
In the spring of 2011, following the earthquake and tsunami,
he began taking photographs as a way to trace the light and events unfolding around him.
Since then, his work has explored the distance between self and society
—touching upon layers of time that lead toward the memories, pain, and the process of curing carried by others.
Received the 36th Higashikawa Awards for Special Photographer of the Year (Japan) in 2020.
Author of A RED HAT (AKAAKA, 2020).
