Well, that was the last customer I had to see off for the night. I might always tell my friends and family that this late night bar business is not for me but seeing their drunk ,happy faces as they leave? Always gives me a sense of satisfaction and if I’m being honest, a lot of times I wonder. Out of the tens of thousands in Tokyo they choose to come to this small little shop, spend their money and leave their worries at the door. I mean, everyone’s dealing with something, right? Even if it’s not expressed you can see it in their faces. Spend enough time working here and you get to be pretty good at reading people, or so I like to think. Are we making a change? Helping? I like to think so. Makes the late nights a bit easier. In any case, time to clean this place up and head back home. Doing this all over again tomorrow.
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.
