Hiroaki Hasumi, a former motorcycle test rider, found his life's purpose early on but faced
numerous life-threatening situations. Each time, he felt a miraculous force saving him, urging
him to continue living. This led him to fine art photography, which he saw as a divine gift and
a new mission. His photography seeks to uncover the hidden spirituality in Japanese objects,
heavily influenced by his mystical experiences.
