I am a Japanese-Canadian photographer based in Tokyo, who began his full-time career in 2015. My first major project, Here. Still. (Unmoored) was awarded a Critical Mass Top 50 award. Since then the project has been added to the collections of the Detroit Center for Contemporary Photography and the Australian Museum of Contemporary Photography. Exhibitions of the work include solo shows at Hastings College Nebraska, Workspace Gallery in Lincoln and a group exhibition at Patricia Conde Galeria in Mexico City. Among editorial projects Kitaguni ni Saku (To Bloom in the North Country), about life under the cherry blossoms in the northern regions of Japan where my family’s roots lie, was featured in the March 2019 edition of Asahi Camera magazine. Granite and Glass, a portrait series depicting the lives of finance workers in Tokyo was showcased in Newsweek Japan in January 2020.
