After graduating from the Department of Photography, Faculty of Arts, Kyushu Sangyo University, he studied under Araki in 1991, and since his solo exhibition "Clock without Hands" in 1993, he has been energetically holding solo and group exhibitions not only in Japan but also in Europe and Asia. Also active in commercial photography. In recent years, we have taken new ways of expression, such as publishing portraits of the elderly and photo books based on solarization. This book is a collection of works published at the time of the first solo exhibition of the public art museum held at the Tatsuyoshi Fujii Museum of Contemporary Art, Hekinan City in 2019. Monochrome with Nomura-like products full of love and humanity will be lined up. The book design, which is based on the image of a black leather notebook, seems to represent the quality of Nomura and is perfect. The title "Go West" expresses the image of the illustrations taken through a trip to China, India, France, Spain, and the west, starting with Nomura's hometown "Yamaguchi".
