Born in Fukuoka City in 1967, graduated from the Tokyo School of Photography (current name: Tokyo Visual Arts). After working as a studio assistant and a photographer’s assistant, I became a freelance photographer. Besides working as an advertising and a magazine photographer, I am traveling the world for shooting images imbued with a strong poetic sentiment. I authored many publications include a photo collection "Dingle” and also I held several exhibitions “The Light and Wind of Dingle”, “Shio-sai (Tidal Tints)” and “Let’s Go to School.”
