Visited the lovely seaside town of Toba Mie Prefecture, this week. Toba is well worth the visit. Gorgeous in that it has been able to keep a lot of it’s old character in the beautiful wooden buildings, temples, shrines, and continue to be friendly and outgoing to visitors.
Soaked in a bit of quiet, rural Japan and attended the Toba Stories Art Project. Stayed at the KAMOMEnb guesthouse near the train station.
A photo journey of my visit through Toba and the bonus of enjoying an exhibition by the students from Joshibi University. Their task; to speak with the people of Toba and create artwork from these conversations.

At Sainenji Temple, Artist Sarah Brasier spotted these two little cats in an antique hanging scroll which she chose to recreate in a single painting. Their very oddness, as if the original painter had never seen cats irl.Pinhole Camera Photography by Furuichi KakoFuruichi Kako’s Pinhole Camera Photography in the gorgeous Kadoya Bldg
