Annotatie | Oorspronkelijke Japanse uitgave: 人生写真館の奇跡 (Jinsei shashin-kan no kiseki). - Japan : Takarajimasha, 2019 - In Mr Hirasaka's photography studio in the mountains, someone is waking up as if from a dream. There is a stack of photos on their lap, one for every day of their life. Mr Hirasaka will ask them to choose a photo from each year, those that capture their most treasured memories, to be placed in a beautiful Japanese lantern. Once completed, it will be set spinning, and their cherished moments will flash before their eyes, guiding them to another world. But, like our most thumbed-over photographs, our favourite memories fade with age. So, each visitor to the studio has the chance to choose one day to return to and photograph again. Each has a breathtaking story to tell, from the old woman rebuilding a community in Tokyo after a disaster, to the flawed Yakuza man who remembers a time when he was kind, and a strong child who is fighting to survive - Bevat: The old lady and the bus ; The hero and the mouse ; Mitsuru and the last photo |
