82 intimate insights into Japanese life. Over the course of nine years, artist and graphic designer Sven Ingmar Thies dealt with several questions: How do the Japanese live in Japan? How do they live abroad? Do they create their own culture in foreign cities? What do they take with them from home? Feelings, things - sensuous or tangible memories? The result is a 192-page photography book containing English-Japanese interviews and texts which convey intimate insights into the lives of 82 Japanese citizens in five global cities: Tokyo, Berlin, New York, Shanghai and Vienna.
