My father opened this shop during the economic boom of the 80s. If you’re asking me, I wish he had opened something cooler like a nightclub or something! But he loved food and he loved the neighbourhood. More than anything he lived to see the looks on peoples faces as they ate and drank at his place. He was a real character and his customers knew how much love he put into his business and how much he never took any of his success for granted. He would always tell me “Restaurants are a risky business and you’re only as strong as your customers” as I would see him follow them outside as they left and give them a deep and respectful bow. It’s been 5 years since he passed. There’s a definite void but things are going alright and I can’t complain. I still hear my fathers voice in my head as I follow my customers outside. They don’t know it but my deep bow of respect is as much for my father as it is for them.
Anyone who has spent the most minimal time in this country will instantly appreciate how Japan is a land of stark contrasts. For every push into the future there are remnants of the past seemingly at every turn. Skyscrapers are being built next to shrines and fancy Michelin star restaurants are surrounded by vintage izakaya drinking pubs. Japan, as the worlds most ageing society, has always had its eyes on the future but its feet firmly planted in its nostalgic past.
This contrast leads to a wealth of photographic opportunity. And as a photographer with a keen interest in deep culture I wouldn't want to be photographing anywhere else!
There's a story attached to every photo I show here. Mostly fictional, but also mostly from my own experiences in Japan over the years. In this series my aim was to capture and edit in a way that portrays modern day Japan but in a style that gives it a time-honoured classic feel.
