We first detected a clear intensity modulation with the orbital period in its high/soft state with 6 year MAXI data, as well as in its low/hard state. In the low/hard state, the folded light curves showed an intensity drop at the superior conjunction of the black hole by a modulation factor (MF), which is the amplitude divided by the average, with 8+-1%, 4+-1% and 3+-2% for 2-4 keV, 4-10 and 10-20 keV bands, showing a spectral hardening at the superior conjunction of the black hole.
