Bronze Winner
- Morning in Niigata -
Yahiko Otorii, a 30-meter-high gateway to the city. It has a strong presence as a symbol of the local community. The sight of it floating in the morning mist is mysterious
Tokyo International Foto Awards 2022
Gold Winner
- Tadami Line Before Dawn -
The Tadami Line is one of the most unexplored routes in Japan. The first train running before dawn. Snow falling silently. The scenery is like something out of a fairy tale.

Photographer "Harvey Yamaguchi" of Japan gave the following comments
***
The railroad tracks leading into the factory are impressive. This place is an actual landscape. The houses in the foreground show people's lives, and the large smokestacks and factories that loom in the background show socioeconomic activities. These two elements are what make up human life. It is a landscape that clearly expresses the social structure. Even the smallest details, such as a car approaching a railroad crossing or a bird in the sky, are taken care of.
