Save the Earth

These photos were taken on the Shiretoko and Notsuke Peninsula in the northeast of Hokkaido, located in the north of Japan. Notsuke Peninsula area is home to many brown bears, but there are few safe havens for wild deer. I photographed a deer with impressive antlers measuring nearly 2 meters against the setting sun. It exuded a divine aura, like a messenger of God. Meanwhile,the Shiretoko Peninsula, located on the northeastern tip of Hokkaido in northern Japan, is a World Heritage Site. Approximately 500 brown bears live in a forest that is 25 kilometers wide and 70 kilometers long. These giants, some up to 3 meters tall, are like the kings of the forest. Additionally, the red foxes and other animals that live throughout Hokkaido also survive in the harsh winter. Through the lens, I felt that the strong message in the eyes of these animals, who live in harsh conditions, was that they wanted us to protect the global environment! "Save the Earth!"
