A torii, which is a Japanese traditional gate of shrine, was located on rocks at a seacoast. Because the sea was rough, high waves were pounding the rocks hard. I felt as if the emotion of nature were overflowing. I captured this scenery using a long exposure.

I was born, raised and resides in Japan working as an electronic engineer.
I always brought my camera as I traveled and enjoyed taking photos. By the time I knew, I was very much into it buying better cameras, lenses, and pursuing it. Especially focusing on capturing the beautiful four seasons in my mystical land of Japan. I get the thrills every time I capture the evanescent beauty of the nature which will forever live in my work.
So now, photography is not just my hobby, it is definitely a big part of my life and I will continue shooting the photos that are hopefully ‘evocative’ to many.
