This series captures the four seasons of Kakumanbuchi Marsh on Mount Akagi. The theme is the enduring beauty and resilience of nature. I have visited this place since childhood, and even after decades, I can still witness the same timeless cycle of seasons that once inspired me. Through these images, I hope viewers can feel both the quiet strength and the delicate beauty of nature’s repetition amidst the passage of time.

My name is Genki Uehara. I am a photographer based in Mount Akagi, Gunma Prefecture, Japan, mainly capturing the beautiful nature of Mount Akagi and the surrounding Gunma region.
