As if repeating the 1960s, Japan is going to hold 2nd Tokyo Olympics, 2nd Osaka Expo, and more. In those days Japan had succeeded development by manufacturing industry and emerged in the capitalistic world. Today Japan is wandering and trying to grow out of the glory. It has to be considered about the future by over-viewing the space-time between 50 years where and when the contemporary Japan was formed. To those landscapes captured in two-dimensional photographs one more dimension is added when they are layered one atop the other. They seem separated, but they are connected.
Bio KINO Seido was born in Nagoya, Japan in 1978, the son of a baby-boomer father who worked at a local auto parts factory. He graduated from the Faculty of Engineering at Kyoto University. Now, as a documentary photographer based in Kyoto & Tokyo, he looks at the challenges facing Japan. He documents how people tackle and overcome them, and explores what makes Japan Japanese-ness. His idea is based on that things happen at the juncture of individuals, objects, locations, time, and ideas, and it is the interaction between different things that makes us aware of them.
