Fascinated by Mountains and Nature

山と自然に魅せられて

岩手の山々と東北の大自然を題材に、四季と光が織りなす静かな瞬間を収めた写真集です。焼石岳、早池峰山、栗駒山を中心に、沢、湿原、ブナ林、そして四季の花々──。作者が長年歩き続けてきた「故郷の自然」の姿を、丁寧に写しとっています。朝の山頂で見た雲海、霧に沈む湿原、萌葱色に輝く初夏のブナ林、霜と紅葉が溶け合う晩秋の湿原、そして冬の冷たい光に包まれた静寂の森。ページをめくるごとに、大自然と向き合った時間の記憶がよみがえるような一冊です。

This photo book captures quiet moments shaped by the light and seasons of the mountains in Iwate and the natural landscapes of northern Japan. Featuring Mt. Yakeishi, Mt. Hayachine, Mt. Kurikoma, and the surrounding streams, wetlands, beech forests, and seasonal flowers, it is a collection of scenes encountered over many years spent walking through the photographer’s home mountains. From sea clouds seen at dawn, mist-covered marshlands, and fresh green beech forests of early summer to the frosted colors of late autumn and the stillness of winter light, each photograph preserves a vivid memory of time spent with nature. May this book bring a sense of quiet breath and lingering tranquility to all who turn its pages.
