Diary - Consisting of over 120 photographs taken over the past ten years, Masayuki Furukawa's "Journal" captures life in its quiet moments. In 2012, the year he began his professional career in London, Furukawa began photographing his everyday surroundings as if he were making notes in a diary, and as the series grew, so did the scope and diversity of his subjects.
\n
\nArranged by dominant colors and subjects rather than chronologically, the photographs in "Diary" possess a mysterious charm and draw the viewer into Furukawa's visual universe of gentle force and nostalgic transparency, with fascinating portraits, wide-angle views of lakes and fields, observed moments, and cityscapes. Produced around the world, this book transcends time and space to illuminate Furukawa's visual experience.

\n"Initially, what was at the base of the project was not the desire to find something new and novel.
\nIt wasn't the desire to find something new and special. I just wanted to photograph what I found beautiful at that moment. As I continued to do this for a long time, this feeling gradually changed and I started photographing things that were changing as much as I was. It kind of became an integral part of my life." - excerpt from Masayuki Furukawa's statement
