温故知新
Learning from the past,
developing the new
The fading wisdom and heritage
Preserving the embodied wisdom of
Japanese
martial arts for the
future.
This is the core of my
existence.
Through Aikido, the invisible within a
photograph become clear.
And through a photograph, the true
essence of Aikido is revealed.
For me, Aikido and photography are
inseparable—two sides of the same coin.
Martial Arts
Capturing photographs that break the mold
Breaking free from the fixed stereotypes of “tradition” and “culture.”
To “express” is to share debris, subjective vision of reality
Not what has been captured, but what has been left unseen?
And what we choose to pass down.
And what remains untold.
I’m expression, I believe the “new” lies
In expression, I believe the "new" lies within past failures, the discarded, and the taboo.
Surely, there is greatness to be found in what has been forbidden or intentionally excluded.
