A book of travels across Japan with vintage lenses from the film era —
the ninth volume of the "Vintage Lens Strolls" series, and the first published in English:
Vintage Lens Travel Photo Book Shot on Rokkor.
This time, the theme is Minolta's ROKKOR lenses.

English edition — fully translated.

The retro plum-blossom design of the Chiyoko SUPER ROKKOR 45mm f2.8, the dreamlike bokeh of the MINOLTA MC ROKKOR 58mm f1.2, and the MINOLTA M-ROKKOR 90mm f4 that carries Leica's spirit — if you traveled with these celebrated lenses, what would they capture?

・Ako in summer
・Arima Onsen in autumn
・Yamashiro Onsen in winter
・Aomori Station under the cherry blossoms
・Osaka's Shinsekai in spring
Five towns and five seasons, strolled over a year with vintage lenses.

170 pages in all.
A book that lets you feel as if you've slipped away on a journey — on busy days, on tired days.

The Vintage Lens Strolls series has reached its ninth volume.
Once again, this is thanks to the readers, to the beautiful townscapes across Japan,
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 spreads.
(The full edition offers the photographs in higher resolution.)
