"Himehotaru" living in summer night forest, females cannot fly, only males, firefly which is an indigenous species of Japan, fly around the summer forest while repeating a blink of a short time, reminiscent of Christmas illumination. sight is fantastic enough to forget the awe of the night forest.It is the shine brightness of life of only 10 days in the summer. And forests are living things, and they are precious things that people cannot threaten. I just hope that this forest and fireflies will be protected.

Kazuaki Koseki 1977 born in Yamagata, Japan. His work is devoted to the landscape of Yamagata and Tohoku, Japan. Evoking the five senses through the four seasons, he photographs the world—weaving the mountains, the forests, and the rivers together. This is because I became familiar with fly fishing from 20s and naturally felt awe. This is to convey and protect the many problems that I have felt while walking in mountains, forests and rivers, such as "nature that changes due to Global warming" and "environmental problems".
