For one month from the end of winter to early summer, Lake Shirakawa is filled with snow melting water and a submerged forest appears. The color of the water in the lake filled with snow melting water changes color like light blue and light green, the mist that can submerge occasionally with submerged trees will show a fantastic scenery. The seasons of Lake Shirakawa progress. The fantastic sight that frequently generated mist shows is as if it was a phantom. Yamagata Japan

Born in 1977 in Yamagata prefecture,Japan. Kazuaki Koseki was born into a family photo studio business, of which he is the eldest son. With photos forming a familiar part of his life since early childhood, Koseki now conducts his private photographic work while running the studio he has since taken over. Mountains. Forests. Rivers. Koseki forges his way into the wilderness of Yamagata and Tohoku region throughout the four seasons, and has dedicated himself to capturing the natural majesty of the area in many of his works, including in his landmark series Summer Faeries.
