Inspiration > Eerie Absent Photos of Tokyo
January 13th, 2008
Tomoyuki SAKAGUCHI delivers an amazing set of eerie photographs of the suburban Tokyo landscape in his coffee table book “Home.” Oddly parked cars, flowers, and overpowering vines, line small houses of mixed styles in haunting absent photos of Tokyo homes. The familiar densely arranged homes with anonymous street corners are rendered strange and almost set like by glowing overhead street lights.
Highly recommended.

Amazing.. So creepy these photos.. Reminds me of the literary work of Murakami — real, mundane, and typical, but at the same time with dark, sinister, undertones. To me, Sakaguchi’s photography brings Murakami’s world to life.
