About the Artist
In 1982, after graduating from Tokyo Photography College at 22, they joined “CAMP,” an independent gallery founded by Daido Moriyama. Their first exhibition took place there in 1983, featuring photos of their hometown, which they hadn’t visited since childhood. At 28, they opened “Gallery Kaido” and held a series of 32 exhibitions titled “Seitaka-awadachiso” over four years. After the series ended, they published their first photo book. Since then, they have traveled extensively in rural Japan and abroad, always searching for traces of their memories in the places they visit.
