Visual Storyteller / Photographer / Film Director based in Tokyo, Japan.
He studied anthropology and social sciences at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific Univesity in Japan and used to work as a director in video production in Tokyo.
His works focus on storytelling with using various visual images from photography and videography, objects. His main concern is contradictions from social isolation between individual and society. Individuals primordially desire to be accepted their own community and society whether they like them or not. He works as a visual storyteller to find and create personal narratives to understand society at the anthropological and sociological points of the view.
