At sunrise, mountain ridges reveal their contours. Wind-shaped boulders scatter across dry land. Trees stretch skyward—skeletal, resilient, alive. Far from manmade noise, the silence speaks with strength. This arid land was once a final stop for those seeking expression—artists, poets, musicians, wanderers. They came not to escape, but to face themselves. Among carved rocks and sky-drawn trees, untold stories remain, etched into the desert. This campaign was photographed by Piczo, who quietly captured the moments where clothing met landscape. There is no need to declare presence here—only to remain still, and to listen. In a world that keeps accelerating, we choose to pause. To find new imagination, in the depths of quiet.

Nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood of Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, is Yamasei, a humble eel restaurant. Step through the noren curtain, and you’re greeted by the savory aroma of grilled eel and a gentle, serene atmosphere. The creator of this space is Keisuke Tominaga—affectionately known as Tomi-san. Originally drawn to the area with dreams of becoming a furniture maker, he has since rooted himself in the world of food. “The present is not perfect.”This is how Tomi-san speaks, always someone who continues to renew himself. He looks at things from a broader perspective and embraces change when necessary. That doesn't mean he lacks conviction. On the contrary, he understands the quiet weight that only time can give—the weight that comes from continuous evolution through trial and error, and from the relationships built over time.
