2019年、最初の撮影は奥会津の猟師、アキオさん。
熊や鹿に猪…40年以上も山に獣を追い、
加えて日本ミツバチの養蜂やヒメマスの採卵事業などにも携わり
自然に深く関わって生きる人だ。
my first photography trip 2019 was in Fukushima prefecture.
trying to photograph the traditional hunting in Japan.
Mr. Akio calls himself "
MATAGI".
it means "traditional hunter" in Japanese.
he knows various things about nature.
from the experiences of his senior, and his own.
this time I could not see the hunting any animals.
but I experienced something great.
I'll keep trying. Thanks you very much.
