In some areas of Japan, Hozuki is decorated at the entrance to ward off evil. It is said that decorating the entrance with hozuki drives away bad luck and brings in good luck. I tried to express the mysterious atmosphere and beauty of Hozuki, which is believed to ward off evil spirits, using artistic light, shadow, and reflection.

I am a Japanese street photographer. I'm shooting my town, street, and casual days. Sometimes I also take still lifes.
