Acknowledgment
As the recipient of the Shi-Ju-Hou-Shou* (Medal with a Purple Ribbon) in 2003, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who helped make this possible with their undaunted support.

Now, getting back to the importance of image records, as a reflection on social conditions, I would like to record on digital camera a series of photographs that spans 32 years, known as "Gendaigokan-Our Day".
