Around lake town | Hiroshi Yamazaki | Zen foto gallery 2025
This book is brand new!
“During a photographic discussion event about his photobook ‘Funabashi Story,’ photographer Kazuo Kitai mentioned that he finds the clutter and messiness of Funabashi inspiring, and it motivates him to continue photographing the city. But there is no clutter in Lake Town. When I told an editor that Iw as taking photographs of Lake Townm he said it must be boring. The houses and apartments look exactly as they appear in real estate advertisements, and there are no good places to drink.
My photography at Lake Town is driven by curiosity: Is Lake Town sustainable? Having once been reset as a cleared land, Lake Town will soon celebrate twenty years since the town was first opened. What will the landscape look like in the next twenty years?”
- From Hiroyoshi Yamazaki’s afterword
