In October 2014 Tom Munro landed in Tokyo to direct a tv commercial & print campaign for a Japanese client. With his next job in Los Angeles and three days to spare in-between, Tom set about documenting Japan’s diverse cultures, new & old. What followed was a whirlwind journey through Tokyo and Kyoto – a sensory overload of neon-lit streets, quiet moments, and chance encounters.

Working with dancer Anna as his collaborator, Munro captured a deeply personal vision of Japanese metropolitan life. No itinerary, no shot list – just instinct, trust, and a schooled eye drawn to the chaos and beauty of it all.
