Repeating Himalayan expeditions, journey after journey. Seven years of continuous encounters with the unknown world. Meeting a polar bear in the Arctic Ocean, offering prayers to the remains of a beached whale in Okinawa, witnessing the birth of drift ice in Siberia, canoeing down the Yukon River to Alaska. Climbing Mount Fuji from sea level, spending a night with a brown bear in Shiretoko, and traveling to Peru, Tibet, Paris, Sakhalin, Vietnam, Canada, Australia, Noto, Kunisaki, Shiraoi, Kagoshima, and Miyako Island. The trajectory of a seven-year journey, carrying a camera and continuously encountering the unknown world. Believing that these irreplaceable daily experiences will continue to reveal new constellations, I will simply keep walking. I am still on a journey. -- From the Afterword
