More details on his inspirations:
Shinto shrines carry within them the spirit of Japanese belief, where nature itself is revered as a deity. In this place, individuals offer their own prayers. And in the role of transmitting these prayers to the deities, priests and priestesses, called "神主" (Kan-nushi) and "巫女" (Miko) respectively, are present. I try to depict the daily life of the sanctuary with the surrounding atmosphere.
