A lovely series about the uncertainty and ephemerality of life by Yokohama-born, Tokyo-based photographer Kentaro Takahashi. Grappling with the aftermath of the devastating earthquake that struck Japan in 2011 and inspired by a painting of the Tama River by Katsushika Hokusai, Takahashi’s long-term project attempts to capture something of contemporary Japanese society and the feelings people carry with them.
