Printed on high-quality photo paper and personally signed. Each month brings a fresh curation, always presented as a triptych of three images. Most of them are never-before-seen frames, many of which have never been posted online or published in any of my previous photobooks, offering a deeply intimate look into my visual archive.

Honest, behind-the-scenes thoughts, reflections, and anecdotes from my life and journey as an independent curator and publisher.

Occasional little freebies I find along the way—unique stationery, ephemera, interesting postcards, or stickers. Plus, the charming bonus of cute Japanese Post Office stamps on your actual envelope!

My creative journey began behind the lens, exploring the evocative solitude of monochrome images and the fragile thresholds of memory. However, my practice underwent a profound and permanent evolution following a period of deep personal grief—a turning point that became the catalyst for founding Ephemere. Through that loss, I came to understand that while photography is inherently fleeting and ephemeral, it must not be left to fade into digital abstractness. To survive the erosion of time, to truly hold a human spirit, tangibility is essential—finding its ultimate, permanent vessel within the physical architecture of photobooks.

At this stage in my practice, I no longer define myself strictly as an individual photographer. Instead, my creative vision has seamlessly expanded into my roles as the founding director, curator, publisher, and educator behind Ephemere. My work now encompasses a complete, intentional arc: from mindfully captured images, to meaningfully curating and publishing them into tangible objects, to passing that knowledge and philosophy on to others. Teaching and mentoring have become natural extensions of my artistry; by guiding other creators to clarify their intentions and master the tactile language of print, I ensure that the ritual of independent publishing remains a living, breathing tradition.

Ultimately, my practice is dedicated to bridging the vulnerable space between the ephemeral image and the permanent object. Through Ephemere’s thoughtfully produced photobooks, immersive exhibitions, and educational dialogues, I champion the physical life of pictures. I dedicate my path to anchoring fragile moments into permanent canvases—cultivating a collaborative sanctuary where human stories are not merely scrolled past, but mindfully made, passed on, held, and remembered.
