“Mars and Milkyway” ISO3200 10.5mm f2.8 15sec,2018
The stars are one of the most precious parts of my life. Over the years, my fascination with them has only grown stronger—like falling in love and never falling out of it.
I often head to the mountains or the coast to watch the stars. Sometimes, I photograph them, but my favorite moments are when I lie on the ground, gazing up at the starry sky and doing nothing. Every time I’m under that endless expanse, I’m reminded of its magic, as if I’m living on the very edge of heaven.
I’m also a student of English and Japanese. Writing has become a central part of my studies, though I’ve always found it challenging—it takes a lot of effort and self-encouragement to keep improving. You might notice some awkward sentences or unusual expressions here, so I kindly ask for your patience.
In this space, I share my thoughts on the arts and the stars—things I’ve been learning from masters, tutors, and books for many years. I hope it inspires anyone who shares a deep love for the stars.
