Japanese crane

I have been photographing nature and birds in Japan for over 20 years.Currently, I have moved to Hokkaido to photograph red-crowned cranes.The red-crowned crane was thought to be extinct in Japan.However, thanks to the conservation efforts of local people, the Japanese Ministry of the Environment, and the Wild Bird Society of Japan, the number of cranes has increased to over 1,800.I wanted to share their resurgence with you through my work photographing red-crowned cranes.

He is currently battling an illness while continuing his photographic activities.

I am a small person, but I want to hold my aspirations high.I hope that the people who see my photos will smile while thinking about how to make the world peaceful, how to end war, how to make the world peaceful, and how to take care of nature, in the hope that the earth is beautiful.I believe that is my mission.

May the earth be beautiful forever and may the world be at peace forever.
