A book of travels across Japan with vintage lenses from the film era —
the sixth volume of the "Vintage Lens Strolls" series is now on Amazon.
This time, the theme is Japan's ancient capitals.

Japanese edition — a photo book, enjoyable in any language.

If you traveled the heartwarming old townscapes of Japan with a vintage lens, what would change?

Nara and its deer under the cherry blossoms, the Kamo River in springtime Kyoto, Naha in Okinawa in summer, Otsu in autumn, Kamakura in winter — a year of strolls through storied places.

Something about old capitals and vintage lenses resonates deeply with each other.
To find out what, I traveled to five of them.
The lenses: Contax, Leica L-mount, AI Nikon, and Canon L-mount.
What kind of photographs did they capture? 170 pages in all.
A book that lets you feel as if you've wandered off on a journey, even on days when going out isn't easy.

This is thanks to all of you who read these books, to Japan's beautiful townscapes, and to the lenses filled with the wisdom of those who came before us.
Thank you so much. I'll keep making books, walking new towns with vintage lenses in hand.

With gratitude, here are some sample pages.
