Liberation of Memory / 記憶の解放
The place I once shared with my father in my childhood remained unchanged, even as the decades slipped by. Yet, as I stood before that familiar landscape, what surfaced were memories of my father’s stern reproach and of myself, struggling to carve out my own path back then. Now, fifty years later, I return, camera in hand, gazing through the lens at the same scene—yet it takes on a different meaning. With each press of the shutter, I find myself releasing who I was, even as I search for answers that still elude me. And until those answers come, I know this journey will continue.
幼少期、父と共に過ごしたあの場所は、長い年月を経ても変わらずにそこにあった。しかし、その風景が私に呼び起こしたのは、父からの厳しい叱責と、自分の道を模索し続けたあの頃の記憶だった。50年後の今、再びその場所を訪れ、カメラを手にレンズ越しに見つめると、過去と同じ景色が異なる意味を帯びて映りはじめた。シャッターを切るたびに、私はあの頃の自分を解き放ちながら、未だ見ぬ答えを追い求めている。その答えが見つかるまで、この旅を歩み続けるだろう。

Birds of Peace
I have taken pictures of birds for many years. I was captivated by them soaring freely in the sky. They are beautiful just because they avoid unnecessary conflicts and pursue their passion for flying. We see them as a symbol of peace. Nowadays, their freedom is restricted due to the conflicts caused by human beings and environmental destruction. Now is the time for us to take action to protect the peace and freedom of the birds.
私は長年、野鳥の撮影をしてきました。それは、彼らが大空を飛ぶ姿に心を奪われたからです。彼らは無駄な争いを避け、飛ぶことへの情熱を追求する美しい生き物です。私たちは彼らを平和の象徴と捉えていますが、現代において、彼らの自由な領域は制約されています。人間の紛争と環境破壊がその原因です。これをを守るために、今、行動すべきではないでしょうか？

Live a Happy Daily Life / 幸せの日常
Our peaceful daily lives might be disrupted suddenly. There might be unexpected problems coming from unknown places. Peace is valuable. I made this artwork to express my deep thoughts for peace.
我々の平和な日常は突然崩れてしまうかもしれません。突然予期せぬ問題が発生する可能性がある。平和は貴重だ。私は平和への深い思いを表現するためにこの実験的な風景を作った。

Coexisting Structure
He was fascinated by huge dams. Dams may not be able to prevent natural disasters that occur every year. However, He thinks we should think about coexisting with these facilities and moving forward into the future.
彼は、巨大なダムに魅了された。毎年のように起こる自然災害をダムでは防ぐことができないかもしれない。しかし、我々はこれらの施設と共存し未来に進むことを考えるべきだと思う。

Sustainable Development
There arisen disasters by heavy rain and earthquakes every year.
Just now, Dams capable of standing against unanticipated disasters are demanded. Damages due to the disasters are tragic. At that time, however, the technical experts start to move in order to create further advanced technologies from there.
The harder the damage, the greater the technology by Japanese engineers. I hope Dams and banks will be continuously protected in this way.
豪雨や地震による災害が毎年発生しています。 いま、不測の災害にも耐えうるダムが求められています。 災害による被害は悲惨です。 しかしその時、技術者たちはそこからさらに高度な技術を生み出すべく動き出す。 ダメージが大きいほど、日本人技術者の技術力が高くなります。 このようにして、ダムや堤防が今後も守られることを願っています。

Proper Circulation of water
We need to face current nature’s force and put together our wisdom and power to maintain dams. This is the only way to get back the stable water circulation to us again. The dam construction would destroy nature, on the other hand, they can restore nature and generate electricity. With our experiences and knowledges, I think we can stem the tide of huge water damage.
今の自然の力と向き合い、知恵と力を結集してダムを維持していく必要があります。 安定した水の循環を取り戻すには、これしかありません。 ダム建設は自然を破壊しますが、自然を再生し発電することができます。 私たちの経験と知識があれば、大規模な水害の波を食い止めることができると思います。
