STREET LEVEL JAPAN

Hidden alleys, storefronts flooded with multicolored neon, street corners caught in the light of day or night, urban infrastructure, shops, markets, and glimpses of sky veiled by electric wires… Hiroki Harada’s vivid shots offer a fresh narrative of Japan’s most vibrant neighborhoods, observed from a hyper-contemporary street level where traces of a stubbornly present past emerge. A hypnotic photography book to admire the most effervescent and metropolitan side of the Land of the Rising Sun with a new perspective. Hiroki Harada lives in Tokyo and has been active in the field of street photography since 2018. His shots of his city are hosted by various international art galleries and are also present in twenty thousand convenience stores across Japan. In 2023, he was selected as one of the 100 most interesting photographers of the year by the art magazine Photographize, and his shot "Izakaya in Shibuya" was published in 100 Best Selected Volume 04.
