Life in Japan on Film

One the many things that life in Japan has taught me is the way each season leaves behind an imprint of colours, tastes, and feelings, never again to be repeated. In that fleetingness, memories scatter into remnants, leaving behind recollections of beauty already gone. But in film, the negative stays fixed. Through the process of photographic development, past moments reveal themselves once more in the progress of mystery to rediscovery.

 

Summer 2023・令和5年夏

Iki Island・壱岐島

A remote island in Nagasaki Prefecture off the coast of Fukuoka where some friends lived. There in the sun among the sea you feel free.

 

 

Spring 2023・令和5年春

Fukuoka・福岡

Under the canopy of cherry blossoms, petals fluttered like snow. A few weeks later their traces were gone and roses sprouted in brilliant bloom. In this park, spring showcased its hand with its different cards of beauty, from the delicate to the magnificent.
