| Photographer's comment | My daughter invited me to the first sunrise event in MeiwaTown for the first time. I was looking forward to seeing the excitement of the first sunrise, but as the sky gradually became brighter, I began to see many people. I took this photo because I thought it was more moving to be able to witness the first sunrise of the year together with so many people, and because the scenery was so beautiful. |

| @shoyo.jp | |
| Photographer's comment | I think that in normal life, most people follow the social rails and see the same scenery as everyone else and live a similar way of life. But that's not my life! I have a strong desire to do things that are different from others, and I like to live my life differently. This work also shows views that cannot be seen just by walking on a normally maintained forest road, so if you muster up the courage to walk in a slightly different way than others, you will be able to see a view that is uniquely yours! This is a work that I want to convey! |
