Honoring Classic Japanese Facades with @twinleaves

To see more photos of classic Japanese facades taken by Hitoshi, follow @twinleaves on Instagram.

(This interview was conducted in Japanese.)

For Hitoshi Kobayashi (@twinleaves) from Tokyo, Japan, the sceneries that excite his photographic endeavors are not the urban landscape or the modern architecture found inside the city center, but rather the decades-old stores and houses which he discovers in suburban neighborhoods. “I’ve just been capturing whatever that catches my attention in the streets, but come to think of it, I think I’m naturally drawn to things that tell stories about people’s lives,” he says.

“Timeworn buildings, overused dustpans and even small inventions like attaching a broken door with a string — these are the kinds of things that I find fascinating,” explains Hitoshi. “The areas I like to go to are restaurant alleys in provincial cities. Old onsen [hot springs] towns are filled with retro, too.”

Over time, his photography has evolved from snapping nostalgic moments to capturing straight facades of aged buildings. “The appearance of the facade changes even with the slightest trim,” he reveals. “It takes forever for me to walk through an old town — because when I’m walking, my eyes and head are so busy trying to trim the reality in front of me.”
