This was my first journey through Japan. Rather than chasing landmarks, I moved slowly through towns, neighbourhoods, and everyday rituals. Observing how people inhabit space, how tradition and modern life overlap, and how moments unfold in between destinations.
The work drifts between rural landscapes and dense cities, public gatherings and private pauses: school baseball fields, local bathhouses, mountain towns, side streets, and domestic interiors. What interested me most was not spectacle, but atmosphere, the feeling of being somewhere, at a particular moment, with time moving quietly through it.
These photographs are an attempt to observe Japan as it revealed itself.
