About 'Life, Japan’:
‘A collection of quintessential moments in Japanese modern life, 'Life, Japan’ is my take on the Japanese day-to-day. Taking place primarily in the urban centers of Tokyo and Kyoto, the series nonetheless attempts to convey a view of Japanese life that is in a sense universal, sometimes bordering on the cliché. By my own admission this view of tradition and modernity in Japan is a romanticized western view, and so the title of the series takes on an almost ironic sense—as though geisha and sumo wrestlers were all there is to ‘Life, Japan.’
