HK$340.00

Published by Kaido Books Japan, 2021

Book Size: 20 × 23 cm

96 pages, hardcover

English, Japanese

Print run of 1000 copies

Eight years after publishing his previous travel photobook, Short Trip Again, Koji Onaka returned to Japan’s rural landscapes, exploring them once more through his 35mm lens.

Created over the course of seven years, Have a Break brings together images captured in Hokkaido in the north, Kyushu in the south, and at numerous stations along the way. Onaka’s distinctive approach to color lends the photographs a nostalgic warmth and quiet intimacy. Through his lens, ordinary scenes from small towns and countryside settings are transformed into quietly captivating visual moments.

“The photographs do not show anything particularly special that could be taken anywhere but scenes that strangely touched my heart – cityscapes, people, sunlight, or sometimes cats.”
— Koji Onaka
