Thank you for your responses, Marty!

It was his timeless desaturated square format shots of rural Japan that caught my eye on Instagram. His handle, mo_mu_ma, of which the “mu” (nothingness) is to me what categorizes his work. It isn’t the Neo-Tokyo Blade Runner images foreigners tend to shoot in Japan, but something much more mundane and honest thus real. His response to favorite time of day shows this best with morning light pouring into a Japanese Showa-era kitchen. Appreciated his response to the underrated virtue question harping to his love of books…he has a good booklist in his story highlights section on Instagram. Check out his links:
