The Vintage Lens Strolls series has reached its eighth volume.
Once again, this is thanks to the readers, to the wonderful culture and townscapes of Japan's onsen, 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.
