I have collaborated on many photo essay books with my partner, writer Shizuka Tsuruta. These books, though only available in Japanese, are filled with many color as well as black and white photographs taken by me. Themes include Vegetarian Natural Cooking, Wild Flowers, Ikebana, Gardening, and Country Living. They are published by well know Japanese publishers such as Iwanami Shoten, Shibata Shoten, and Bungei Shunju.
