Project in Progress
Turning Himeji Castle into thirty-six views, seen from everyday life.
This project is not only about photographing Himeji Castle as a landmark. It records the castle through the eyes of someone who grew up in the castle town and still keeps returning to it, layering season, time, and the presence of daily life. Rather than treating completion as the end, I will keep refining the collection whenever I encounter a view that stays with me more deeply.

The Collection
Progress: 0 / 36 Views
* The gallery is ordered starting from the current season.
This gallery captures the beauty of Himeji Castle across the four seasons through 36 photographs. "Thirty-Six Views of the White Heron" is an ever-evolving project. As I continue to visit the castle and capture even better moments, I plan to gradually update and replace the photos over time. Please enjoy the changing faces of this magnificent white fortress as the seasons and times go by.
