Every year I pay a visit to my good friends Takeshi/Kojima in Saitama Japan, whom I’ve known for 10 years since my days as a film student in Tokyo. It’s also a good opportunity to catch up on some good Japanese food, art books and excellent exhibitions like the Kon Satoshi Retrospective and the Ghibli Structures exhibition, and more.

I’m currently going through the photographs I’ve taken and am preparing reviews for the numerous art books I’ve lugged home. In the meantime, you can take a look at some of photographs from the trip on my Instagram.

(image above) 2 totoro minatures I picked up at the Ghibli structures exhibition which I promptly put to work as photo models in my host’s little garden.

More updates soon.
