Concept /

In the films of Shunji Iwai, people are reminded about the power of first love. It is often not a happy ending for that first love, but it is an important experience that can teach how to avoid the same mistakes again. Interestingly, it can also teach how to love a stranger. I took all the photos in a Japanese tea garden and used soft color to express the sweetness and innocence of the young characters in Shunji Iwai’s films. I also used Japanese words in the design to give people a feeling for the traditional Japanese culture that infuses his films.
