Comment
This is a precious photograph that was left with a deep impression on me after a sudden glimpse on campus in the evening. The windows in the building are all brightly lit, conveying the enthusiasm of the students as they work towards their research and graduation. The tops of the zelkova trees, the symbol of the university, spread wide into the sky after the rain, and the tree-lined path below is lit by solar-powered LEDs, as if illuminating the path to the future along with the development of science and technology. It also brings back memories of the university's mulberry fields that once spread across this area, making this a precious work that evokes the history of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology and its powerful steps towards the future.

Comment
I felt your love for TUAT when you titled the photo of you with many of your classmates and teachers "Home of the Heart (Furusato)". I was fascinated by the sense that there is still the same bond among students and memories with teachers as in the past. I also chose this photo because I wanted the current TUAT students to know through this photo that there is a historic practice at TUAT that has continued from the time before cameras were in circulation to the present.
