Photographer

I was engaged in research and development of workstations for financial institutions at a major information and communication manufacturer. And I am planning and participating in the North American financial market research project "PLATFORM SURVEY USA 1988".I am involved in domestic and overseas coverage activities at the Corporate Planning Office.

 A dramatic encounter with news photographer Eugene Smith at a photo exhibition (Ikebukuro, Seibu, 1973). Shaking hands, at that moment I decided to continue photography for the rest of my life. Eugene Smith's big, warm and soft palm feel still vividly sensational to the skin.
