After graduating from university, he created a series that captures factories, mining sites, and their ruins related to mineral resources such as limestone and coal in various parts of Japan. . Since then, he has traveled overseas and continues to vigorously present works that continue to question the relationships between cities, nature, and humans.

From 1986 to 1994, 30 limestone mines from Hokkaido to Okinawa, lime factories, cement Works taken around the factory are recorded.
