Across several trips, I have sought to deepen my appreciation of Japan and it's people's ardent and creative heart.

As my journeys began to number, I observed my awareness of the liminal shift, and as I have studied the language, history and aesthetics, my affinity has grown. I have chosen to order these photos in the reverse of their capture, starting with my last trip, in the hope that this acuity may be more relatable - unfolding from a felt intimacy out into the dazed gaze of a curious traveller.

These photos have sprouted from a medley of moments; warm invitations, intentional wandering, spontaneous conversations and off hand recommendations, all guiding me through the backstreets of a wonderfully enigmatic place and people. I hope that in some small way, these images offer a glimpse into a lesser seen spirit of Japan.
