The open sea waves have sculpted a picturesque landscape on the northwestern coast of Tokunoshima. The background is a geological coincidence, where the granite base has been pushed up as a result of tectonic movements. The view is rare on the shores of the Amami Islands, which are formed mostly of volcanic rock and coral. The keen-eyed observer will also spot a tiny bird in just the right place.

BY THE SEA – Photographs from the water's edge around the world

When you're stranded on the shore, it feels like the sea separates you. But when you step into the water, the sea connects you. The idea that the waves washing my feet on my home beach can take me around the world is enchanting. From my home pier, I can reach the Atlantic, the Arctic Ocean, the Mediterranean, and the tiny islands of the Pacific. Although hiking in the mountains is wonderful, it is only by the sea that I finally feel at peace. It is strange how the sea feels so familiar even on the opposite shore. The seas are woven from the same foam and salt spray.

The images in this series can be ordered with or without a white border and stylish info text.
