Every month we choose a different spot. Mostly my father leaves it up to me. I think it’s his way of telling me I’ve grown up and he respects my opinion but he would never say as much. He’s always been a person of few words but recently with the divorce it’s been a lot of silence. I don’t know if it’s guilt or shame, either way, I’ll probably never know the real truth. So we come to these dinners and go through the same routine questions. It’s alright though, now that I see him less often I’ve come to appreciate the silent moments I shared with him growing up. They were never uncomfortable like someone might imagine. In fact, I never thought twice about them and in a lot of ways I guess I’m becoming a lot like him. And so we sit here every month, enjoying our silent presence, having our quiet meal.
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.
