About 'TranCis'

About the Author

Kyuu Furumi, born in 1978 in Tokyo, began his career as a diving guide in Kushimoto, Wakayama Prefecture, before establishing himself as a photographer. His work documents not just the beauty of the ocean's landscape but also the lives of marine creatures and the environmental issues affecting them. His photographs have been published in various media outlets including National Geographic and Big Comic. Recently, he founded 'And Nine Co., Ltd.' focusing on underwater filming. He continuously pushes creative boundaries with 8K high-resolution imaging and has contributed significantly to numerous TV programs, including NHK's 'Darwin's Arrival'.

Through 'TranCis', Furumi hopes to invite readers to ponder the complex question: What does it mean to interact with nature? The book elegantly explores themes of existence, longing, and the profound connections that exist between all forms of life, captured through the artist’s lens as he seeks to bridge the boundary between land and sea.
