Hige offers us a lively and sensible look at many of the ordinary and mundane aspects of contemporary Japan. Like a good flâneur, he understands that the uniqueness of a place is not just at its monuments and grand festivals, but also at the numerous not-so-spectacular (yet interesting) details of urban life that he cares to share with us. His photos have the ability to transport you right into the streets, restaurants and houses of his country, so if you’ve ever been to Japan, beware – you may find yourself missing it terribly after seeing his shots. Domo arigato gozaimasu, Hige!
