The title image was updated on [home].
It's one of the [Penumbra] series which has been exhibited in the solo show in the last year.
The reason why I selected this piece is that one of the subject of this piece to me was " hope and pray ".
I really appreciate your concern and support about the earthquake in Japan from all over the world. Fortunately now I'm safe and
I only hope all the people who were suffered by the devastation are back to normal life as soon as possible...
