Blue moon

Yamagata February, the winter was approaching the end in the flatland. I was aiming for the summit of "Mt.zao" from the night. There is a beautiful crater lake which is still active as a volcano, called "Goshikinuma", and in the summer it is a beautiful lake of emerald green. It was covered with strong wind and fog, but it showed its appearance in a momentary fine weather. The crater lake where the accumulated snow began to melt was like a blue moon.

Havana Queen Story

I imagine the year to be 1957, when Havana was the world's 4th-most-expensive city at the time. Many vintage buildings remain in Havana today, and many of my friends still play and live in such buildings. Today, as the Castro era wanes, Cuba's youth have their doubts, dreams and stories... It is time to make new memories and new histories, while revisiting and reevaluating old ones...1957 is a collection of portraits and stories of my friends in Cuba...This one is called Havana Queen Story, a portrait for the drag Queen Salma. Drag Queens, together with many of the LGBT community are all issues that haven’t been tolerated well at all until recently. In recent years, they are playing to sell-out crowds again every night.
