AKIPRESS.COM - An 81-year-old photographer from Japan Hai Mon Go arrived in Issyk-Kul and shared his impressions.

The photographer said that he lives in province near Tokyo and travels around the world to capture the beauty of nature, as well as the culture of peoples. He has already visited 15 countries of the world.

His works were highly praised at international exhibitions in New York and San Francisco.

“I came to Kyrgyzstan for the first time and highly appreciated the hospitality, as well as the high culture of the nomad people and already visited the Ton, Jeti-Oguz and Issyk-Kul districts. I collect photos of beautiful places. I familiarized with the local traditions and customs. They are very interesting,” he said.

The photographer noted that he did not know about Kyrgyzstan before.

“I saw the unique beauty of nature, people and the values ​​that they honor. I was surprised with the hospitality of the people. I have visited many countries of the world. Unfortunately, I learned about Kyrgyzstan only at this age. If I arrive earlier, I would certainly have taken a series of photographs through which the whole world would know about the country. The collected photographs in Kyrgyzstan will be shown at the exhibition in New York,” he said.

Hai Mon Go added that he will visit Kyrgyzstan next year and he intends to learn Kyrgyz language and through his works will show the beauty of Kyrgyzstan to the whole world.
