Koichi Sakao's Profile

profile

There are various places in the life of the people, there is a climate in various places.

Glimpse of the beauty of everyday life. Some of the everyday beauty of the person to stay hidden, the patient will not notice.
Show me the beauty of unexpected things can remain in place. Produced by a coincidence that beauty is not to say other than no longer necessary. An environment where people "mutual"natural wonder of the landscape is woven.
