“我一生中大部分时间都和兔子生活在一起。从1994年到2003年，我为我的宠物兔子乌龙创建了一个主页，虽然并非我的本意，它成为了全世界的热门话题，甚至被用作网络梗。我的作品曾在《纽约时报》上刊登，并在日本举办过几次摄影展。”

Hironori Akutagawa

B. 1967, Japan

Hironori Akutagawa has photographed a rabbit series called Oolong that has gone viral on the Internet. Oolong's photos appeared in the first wave of photo blogs. At the turn of the century, the development of digital technology made it easy for Internet users to display private images/photo collections to the public. In this wave, professional photographer Hironori Akutagawa has become one of the well-known photo bloggers. Hironori's most frequent subject is Oolong (his pet rabbit) for photo gallery style setting shots.

“I live with rabbits for most of my life. From 1994 to 2003, I created a homepage for my pet rabbit, Oolong, and regardless of my own intentions, it became a hot topic all over the world and was even used as an Internet meme. My work has been featured in the New York Times and has had several photo exhibitions in Japan.”
