Hokkaido-based photographer and outdoor guide Junki Yarinome presents a body of work developed through ongoing fieldwork in Eastern Hokkaido. Since 2021, he has been entering the local snow-covered mountains on foot, documenting his experiences while combining ascent and descent through snowboarding.

The mountains of Eastern Hokkaido are defined by a distinct natural environment and ecosystem, where traces of a primordial landscape remain. Within this space—where stillness and severity coexist—physical movement gradually transforms into an internal journey.

This publication captures the fleeting moments where awe and reverence toward nature intersect—an in-between state, or “awai”.
