About Sapporo

But man, it pisses me off too. Society’s all judgy, callin’ ‘em trash. Like, who the hell are we to point fingers? Anger’s takin’ over my head, yellin’, “This is ridiculous!”—straight outta *Inside Out*. I’m over here fumin’, ‘cause some of these girls got no choice. Poverty, abuse—shit’s real. Then there’s the pimps, slimy bastards takin’ their cut. Makes my blood boil, fam.

As his work progressed, he began experimenting with posed nude photographs inspired by his early work with the ama.

As the sun starts to dip, I decide to head over to the Iwase Shrine. It’s peaceful there, and I need some zen after the chaos of the day. I walk through the torii gate, and it’s like the world quiets down. I take a deep breath, and for a moment, I forget about the spills and the bumps. Just me and the trees, ya know?
