Statement of the photographer, Toshiya MURAKOSHI
"Photographing your hometown means freeing yourself from the ideas and objects acquired at birth and hunting for what's left at the end. Then photographing different regions is an attempt to find new things, ideas and interests and see how far this process can take you." (freely translated, © Toshiya MURAKOSHI)
