On the night of August 14th, 2025, at 11:30 PM, as Tokyo’s evening deepened, I stepped into a completely different Senso-ji from its daytime self.

From the Qing Dynasty stone lions at the main gate and eighteen arhats, to the dragon pillars inscribed with “Second year of Xianfeng,” and the expressive Eight Immortals sculptures above the five-gate hall, every detail showed remarkable craftsmanship.

The sky was clear that night, dotted with stars, and there weren’t many visitors in the park, providing an excellent environment for photography. My camera captured the various
On a cloudy weekend of March 15th this year, I stepped onto the campus of Asia University in Taichung. Though the sky lacked the brilliant blue backdrop, this weather condition gave me the perfect opportunity to try out new techniques my photography instructor had taught us: using special filters to enhance the expression and tension
In March, Taichung welcomes perfect sunshine and gentle breezes. During this blossoming season, I visited the National Taichung Theater with my photography class.

On a Tuesday afternoon in February 2025, I visited Meiji Shrine in central Tokyo. I walked through Japan’s largest wooden torii gate made from Taiwan cypress with its natural aged character, strolled along the tree-lined path where light and shadow danced together, and admired the Imperial chrysanthemum emblems and the impressive wall of sake barrels. As I left, the low golden sunlight covered the entire shrine, making everything look noble and special. It was a peaceful and memorable visit.
