The world beyond the gate seen by Dante, the author of "La Divina Commedia", is such a sight.

As I imagined, I took a picture.

I was born in Aichi Prefecture, Japan and currently work in Tokyo, Japan as an advertising and book designer. Photography is not my main job, but I have worked in a photography studio and to this day I take freelance work. I specialize in photographing people in motion, whether it's in the performing arts or dance, regardless of location.
