Hello there. I made a photo book of Japan’s traffic cones.
Why traffic cones? Well, forget robots, manga or sushi, the humble traffic cone outdoes them all in its ubiquity across Japan.
I’ve come to appreciate their beauty. Their simplicity and versatility. Their gentle yet omnipresent authority. The way they appear to say, ‘Hey pedestrian, acknowledge me and everything will be okay’.
DM me to buy a copy.

Further thanks to @akashioda , @videovinod , @mattfbriggs@fujitakeisuke and @theglitch.co .
Sad to be leaving Japan after 6 years, but I’ll be leaving with many amazing memories of good times with good friends. Couldn’t have done it without all the people in these photos, we’ve seen so much and been through so much together!
Sure, I’ll miss the food, the culture, the pocari sweat, but really it’s the guys in these pics who made it so so special.
Glad ig allow more in a carousel now to get you all in!!
Thanks for the photos and book @joshrrking
