Keiichiro Muramatsu

I'm a photographer and I've been running my studio since 2008. In 2013, I started to learn "Nageire", which means to arrange wildflowers freely. Arranging flowers is more than just arranging them. By feeling the poetry and quality of the grasses, flowers, trees, and stones that I have collected myself, I am able to express something essential. I try to see what is invisible to the eye, and expressing "harmony with nature" is the driving force behind my work. I hope that the people who see my works will be able to feel that "something" and make a positive contribution to their daily lives.
