I usually take straight forward photos to document moments, people and places I would like to remember as I grow older and forgetful. I enjoy learning about Japanese History and travel to many historical locations (which usually coincide with Buddhist Temples and Shinto Jinja) when I am able. I am currently walking the Old Tokaido, but also want to walk the Nakasendo, Nikko Kaido, Koshu Kaido and Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage to name a few, with my camera and fully charged batteries in hand. I also hope to climb Mt. Fuji from the first station (because I only intend on climbing it once). If You enjoy history, then You'll likely enjoy what I have to offer.

When I was single, I thought it was the best life that I could live.
When I married, I thought it was even better.
When I became a Father, I realized that the joy that I was sharing with my Beautiful Wife had really only just begun.

    "With the heart of a true historian, and the eye of a photographer and artist, Tanuki's photos are great to look at, and his caption tidbits of history are always interesting to read. Of course, anybody that goes around shooting pictures of manhole covers is a fine human being in my book. Hope to meet again someday for more adventures in old (and new) Japan !"
