(...) Most of the images that I have been capturing in my photographs, have appeared in the journal “Record” over the twenty years from its launch up to this latest issue, No. 60. In other words, rather than a “Record,” one may actually understand it as my “ID” proper. In addition to the photos shot here in Japan, there are quite a few that I took in other countries, and with 120-180 pages each, each volume of this journal is very much a personal record and memento of my own life and memories.

Me, I will again be clicking away with my camera tomorrow, and the day after that. After all, photography is such a wonderful thing.
