Nihonjin - Japanese people
In the summers spent in Japan I had the opportunity to meet and get to know many people and to deal with a culture totally
different from ours. For this reason I decided to dedicate this study to the Japanese, to their faces, to the work they do,
because they are the people, the soul of a nation and its culture.
Girl smile
A Japanese girl smiles at passersby from her post in a trendy Japanese accessories store.
Girls with Yukata
Happiness is a smile that lasted a moment.
During the Nara to Koe party you can meet many people dressed in traditional clothes walking on the street.
Shy dolls
Walking through the animated streets of Japanese youth fashion it is not difficult to meet girls dressed like dolls who shyly hide under their umbrellas to avoid being photographed in the face.
Maid on the phone
The bouncers of clubs or maid cafes are often very young girls dressed as maids. Many of them do not want to be filmed in the face and therefore often cover themselves with their hands.
Seller of sweets
Along the road that leads to the temple of Asakusa, there are hundreds of stalls that produce and sell sweets in a traditional way.
The artisan of biscuits
Craftsmanship, especially in food sold on the streets along the streets leading to temples, is widespread. This man created magnificent filled biscuits to sell to passers-by.
Surprise
Often on Sundays or on holidays in summer, girls love to wear the Yukata (traditional summer kimono) and go walking around the city
Escape from wedding
Even a smile is enough to become protagonists, even stealing the scene from the spouses who believe they are always the center of attention
Girl with an owl
On the streets of Tokyo, on Takeshita Street, there is a sweet girl with an owl. She has a smile for everyone, even for me.
Japanese girls in Minato
On festive days, Japanese girls like to wear traditional clothes and walk around the city. Here we are in the Minato-ku district, not far from Tokyo Tower.
Yatai in the night
On the streets of Fukuoka every evening an ancient rite takes place. The stalls selling typical Fukuoka Ramen come to life and add color, illuminating all the streets along the river and throughout the city.
After work, people love to stop at these stalls to enjoy hot food prepared on the spot. They can chat and drink beer before going home.
