"As writing on himself -see the interesting notes on his profile- Ontoshiki is an introvert 'pure sang'... only by permitting moments of solitude and introspection, the images he creates can richly reach the level of more than just a momentary beauty. As I made part of fashion life for quite some time -almost now as in a former life- I only can express my deepest respect and appreciation for the beautiful evolution in deeper going thoughts and moods that occur in his recent images. Cinematic shouldn't always be about glamour and glitter, as he certainly knows to handle with a poignant intelligence and sensitivity for moods.I'm delighted to have him as a contact, with my deepest respect and admiration for his continuous research on the world around him!"
