Still Life

The wintertag (winter day) series is one of the winter landscapes in Japan. This series is an ongoing project, which started in January 2014. These are photos at the foot of Mount Fuji and my hometown (central Kanagawa prefecture / An area along the Sagami River). Lake Yamanaka at the foot of Mount Fuji is approximately 70km from my hometown. In my hometown, it rarely snows however, Lake Yamanaka freezes every year. In November 2016, it snowed for the first time in 54 years in my hometown. The Lake Yamanaka is the headstream of the Sagami River and it is the only lake with natural debouch into the rivers among the Five Lakes of Mount Fuji. These landscapes are simplified by snow, captured simply and minimally. Latest shooting date: January 07 2022 *Incl. Sub-series "The misty road".
