Profile:
Born in Niigata, Japan in 1976. Lives and works in Niigata. Graduated
from Koyasan University in Mikkyo (Esoteric Buddhism) in 1999.
After having served Buddhist apprenticeship at Koyasan (Mt. Koya)
from 1995 to 1999, he started his career as a photographer while
being a monk of the Singon Sect in Sado Island. In 2004, he was
awarded the 1st FOIL Award for his series of pictures in which
he took a succession of waves on a shore in Sado. Following the
FOIL Award, he published photo book NAMI and was awarded the Rookie

overwhelmingly energetic and spiritual book. Having visited various
