Dharma doll is modeled after Bodhidharma who was a founder of Zen Buddhism.
Dharma doll is loved by the Japanese as a talisman.
The sunrise on the horizon and the shape of the mirage resemble a Dharma doll, so in Japan it is known as the Dharma sunrise.
I have taken photography since 2009.
My main subjects are various landscapes in Japan.
The landscapes I photograph are mostly nature, and I mainly shoot nightscapes, early morning views, waterside views, views with Mount Fuji, and cherry blossom trees.
When the subject is a natural landscape, I repeatedly shoot the same location in spring, summer, fall, and winter, even for many years.
While I visit famous shooting spots, I like to find my own unique shooting spots that no one else knows about.
I want to continue to discover various landscapes of Japan in the future.
