It's a buckwheat flower field illuminated by moonlight.
The location of the photograph is a plateau situated at an elevation of 1130 meters in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. This place is known as Kaida Kogen.
Kaida Kogen is a vast natural area with nostalgic rural scenery.
This region is known for its buckwheat production.
In September, white flowers that serve as buckwheat raw materials bloom all over the place.
On this day, the moonlight illuminated the entire field, and frost attached by mist sparkled in the moonlight.
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.
