Tasogare Mode

A middle-aged bachelor who embarks on journeys in search of local fish, wild vegetables, regional sake, and hidden onsen.
Drawn to simple yet powerful things, human warmth, and local production for local consumption.

Main theme: “Rustic”
Especially fond of Hokkaido and the Tohoku region, with a special love for Blue Forest (a poetic name for Aomori, meaning “deep green forest”) and Ihatov (a term coined by Kenji Miyazawa, referring to an ideal homeland in his imaginary world, representing Iwate Prefecture).

“Sorrow” / “Nostalgia” / “Rustic Charm”

Favorite Figures:
Shuji Terayama / Kenji Miyazawa / Yoshiharu Tsuge / Andrei Tarkovsky

Favorite Era:
1960s (Showa 40s)
