I'm a freelance self-shooting producer based in Kyoto, Japan. I have been very lucky involved with various projects including commercial, journalistic, and factual content both internationally and domestically. I usually work as a one-man band for much of my career and have experience as an editorial assistant at a Newspaper in Japan. As such gave me opportunities to explore various aspects of filmmaking, I am able to act any roles when it comes to production. I am fundamentally interested in and passionate about factual content. If you have any projects along with this line, or even if it is commercial projects, feel free to let me know. Let's make it happen.

NY-based artist August Henry held a 3-day pop-up exhibition "Hanami" hosted by Bridge To Kyoto. The colorful installation and paintings represent a shared experience "Hanami" and this time he puts the gifted Sakura story between nations in the exhibition. In total, more than 100 people came over to the show, but this was never an easy road to make this happen because of the pandemic.
