In spring, cherry blossoms take center stage everywhere.
The harmony of cherry blossoms with buildings, even in a single frame, leaves a strong impression. The contrast between the hurried people in the photo and the cherry blossoms that have stood the test of time highlights the beautiful relationship between everyday life and nature.
The matching colors of the post and the traffic cone, as well as the cherry blossoms before full bloom, evoke the changing seasons in this remarkable shot. Yu's photos capturing everyday moments are ones to watch.

The contrast of light and shadow in monochrome photography is striking, with the brown eyes delicately portrayed, and the perfect focus on the horse's eyelashes deepens the impression.
The composition that cuts off half of the face conveys the animal's emotions, and the landscape and sun reflected in the eyes give a sense of time contrast, making it a captivating piece. The gentle sway of the mane suggests the wind, showcasing Sato's diverse photographic techniques. From the nature of Hokkaido to everyday portraits, Sato's work conveys a deep love for his hometown.

This image is reminiscent of the photographer Saul Leiter from New York. In a black-and-white world, a mysterious red strongly draws the viewer's eye. The red hat swaying in the rush further moves the viewer's heart.
From the moment you see it, you feel it is a wonderful photo that stays in your heart for a long time.
