This work was created in Hokkaido, located in the north of Japan. On a cold morning with temperatures as low as minus 15 degrees, rainbow-colored diamond dust appeared in the forest. It was a beautiful scene, as if a galaxy had appeared. Diamond dust only appears under certain conditions. When even stricter conditions are met, rainbow-colored diamond dust appears. I believe that my chance to photograph it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
