Welcome to the Planet of Deer!

​

A deer stepping into a souvenir shop, someone's garden, and a construction site whose entry is prohibited.

​

The deer have been revered in Nara as a messenger of gods, "Shinroku". However, the number of deer has grown rapidly nationwide, and there are issues of car accidents, and damage to vegetation and forests. How can deer and human beings get along?

​

The deer in the photographs live freely. They transgress the boundaries between ourselves and them, and show us their lovely ways.
