The sun has been a symbol of life force since ancient times.
Like the dawn in the mountain village where the morning sun shines,
Wishing you a bright new year full of light.
May the new year bring you lots of success.

New Year's Day, 2023

Golden Dawn
Hoshitoge in the former Matsudai-Machi, a nationally famous spot for photographing terraced rice paddies. A tripod was set before dawn while waiting for the sunrise. As the morning sun shines in, the mist that had settled in the mountains begins to glow with a golden light.
