Masu Photo｜Spain

This is a photo art book of people holding the traditional Japanese craft "masu", photographed in Madrid and Barcelona in July 2024.

History and modernity, tranquility and passion.
Within these two cities, which display contrasting characters,
I capture the emotions and the natural demeanor that arise
at the moment someone holds a masu.

When Japanese culture meets lands with a strong aesthetic sensibility and lifestyle culture,
how does it blend in and reveal new expressions?
This book is a record of that encounter.

This photobook is created not only to be read,
but as a work that is completed when placed in a space.

Recommended for cafes, galleries, shops, and accommodations
that cherish the beauty of art, architecture, and everyday living.
