the impermanence of everything.
Often considered untranslatable, mono no aware carries a quiet truth:
everything is fleeting—youth, seasons, faces, gestures—
and beauty lies not in permanence, but in our ability to feel it while it lasts.
It’s not sadness.
It’s presence.
A gentle awareness of time passing.
A reverence for all that is temporary.
this idea shapes the way we approach weddings,
celebration becomes something deeper—
not perfect, but honest.
Lived moment by moment.
Moments collapse into one another.
What was becomes what remains.
And in that trace—we find meaning.
Photography, for us, is a way of honoring what will soon disappear.
Not with mourning, but with presence.
With gratitude.
With the quiet knowing that nothing lasts—
and that’s exactly why it matters.
間- is about finding beauty in the spaces in between, appreciating the profound charm of emptiness.
Photography is the art of embracing the in-between — the pause where stories breathe.
The moment before the shutter, the silence between movements, the unseen thread that connects.
Ma is where everything rests and everything begins.
うつろい - A Poetic Dance of Light and Shadow.
We see beauty in opposites. Light is only light because of its relationship to shadow.
Balance emerges in the invisible space between. A transparent poetry that gives meaning to the whole.
This is how we see. This is how we shoot.
