    "Looking at the photostream of Hira you can find the scent of Japan, a modern representation of the pure japanese formal Art.
    Hira got a fantastic mix of photography, graphic and creative works.
    I admire his delicate and gorgeous atmosphere, his ability to make us dreaming of sensual and pure bodies, the gentle breeze on the Buddhist temples.
    Hira a great Artist and a really good Friend too!!"

    "Hira3 is a great artist, generous teacher and a wonderful flickr friend. His images are filled with meaning and shine a light on what is beyond the ordinary in our world. He is a masterful photographer and an inventive creator of beautiful images. Each of his creations transcends the mundane and takes us to a place of loveliness and wonder. His photostream is one of my favorite places to visit and for a special treat, visit his “Human” photoset. Enjoy!!"

    "hira3 was my first friend on flickr. I like the sensitive way of his work. He produces different kinds of photos. Pictures of everyday Japan, Fotos where he worked on the colours and collages witch start your imagination. His work shows a great understanding of art. I like also his photos of cultural and historical buildings together with background information.
    hira3 is generous with his friendly and personal comments. He is very responding and helps me getting more insight into the Japanese culture and history. I dont want to miss hira3 and his photos in flickr."

    "Hira3 photos are beautiful and a delight to view. His photos of temples, Buddhists, and cheery trees take one to a peaceful world of old traditions and culture. Several of his photos include many notes to explain the subtle details that one may see but not understand fully. I enjoy his many creative and unique images, and learn from them. Hira3 is an artist and it is truly a joy to view his photos."
