Hello everyone,
My name is Hidemi Ogata, and I serve as the representative director of this association.
For many years, I have worked as a photographer, capturing images of numerous celebrities and rock stars from around the world.
A turning point in my photography career occurred when I had a strong intuition that even those who are not celebrities possess an inner brilliance and charm that could be brought to light through the camera. This led me to launch the "Gypsy Photographer Project" in 2023.
The purpose of this project is to reveal the unique charm of every individual, allowing them to feel their own beauty that they may not yet be aware of, through the art of photography.
I believe that by becoming aware of each person's charm and increasing their brilliance, the frequency of humanity as a whole and the Earth will rise, leading us toward harmony rather than division. This conviction is what inspired me to start this project.
Moreover, a portion of the revenue generated from the "Gypsy Photographer Project" has allowed me to initiate a tree-planting project for the "Yoko Sakura" which I have long admired for its inspirational origin story. As a result, we have seen an increase in requests for planting cherry blossoms that can touch people's hearts, regardless of their backgrounds, leading to the establishment of our association.
Our mission is to photograph the unique charm of every individual and to plant Yoko Sakura around the world.
This project, "World Sakura Network General Incorporated Association "aims to contribute to a global exchange of love and resources, as well as the awakening of humanity.
