みわたせば はなももみぢも なかりけり うらのとまやの あきのゆふぐれ —藤原定家—

There are no flowers or autumn leaves around, in the autumn sunset of a thatched hut behind.
—Fujiwara no Teika—

Quoting this Waka-poem, I can say that almost all my photos are based on that thought. From subjects which have no beautiful flowers or attractive matter, I would like to make them beautiful or attractive, by controlling focus or angle or composition.

Our eyes can only see the scenery but the results of the photos can show us the beautiful scenes which actually exist in reality but are difficult to recognize.

When I was a toddler, we sang a song in the kindergarten every morning. Because the kindergarten was owned by a temple, it was a song to teach the children to pay respect to the roadside statues and dedicate the beautiful natural flowers to them.

見えているものが全て見たままのものとは限らない
見たいと思っているものを見ている人も
見たくないと思っているものを見てしまう人も
見えているものが見えない人も。
どれもあなたが選んだ結果。選んでない?それは、見るべきものが見えていないだけ。
