Japan – Vertical Impressions

I had the great pleasure to live in and travel around Japan for a summer period. It was a fiest to both eye and mind and I brought home a massive amount of photographs about daily life, culture, architecture, people and hundreds of odd things I encountered during my stay. Japan felt to me like an admirable society in a parallel universe that combines the familiar and the bewildering.
