Every photo of this project was taken in 2016, when I travelled my first time to Japan. With these long exposures I want to show the silence and the perfection for which Japan and its people stand. Silence, perfection, spirituality and the contrast between mankind and nature. In my eyes Japan is the best example that the signs of mankind can work together with nature and intact landscapes if every person takes care of his environment.
