Fascination with Japan: Yvonne Wigger discovers the aesthetic life in Tokyo
Yvonne Wigger, photographer and stylist, shares her impressions of a fascinating trip to Japan. Your early morning arrival in Tokyo will be accompanied by an impressive light and a unique atmosphere. Tokyo, a metropolis with 38 million inhabitants, appears both structured and relaxing. This is just the beginning of a journey to numerous locations that reflect the cultural facets of Japan.
The city is known for its carefully designed parks and clean streets, which demonstrates the Japanese people's attention to detail and aesthetics. Taxi drivers in smart suits and crocheted gloves are another sign of the high regard that is brought into many aspects of everyday life. This is also evident when shopping, where products are lovingly and perfectly packaged, regardless of their value.
Cultural discoveries
On her journey, Wigger visits several locations including Karuizawa, Kanazawa, Kyoto, Osaka, Naoshima and Ise-Shima National Park. In these cities she finds inspiration in the little things that characterize the Japanese aesthetic. Their experiences reinforce the idea of appreciating the little things in life. She is particularly touched by the ritual preparation and presentation of the food, which is very important in Japan. A striking example are the lovingly prepared apples, whose intense taste remains unforgettable.
The cultural opportunities in Tokyo are diverse. The interesting districts include, among others Ginza, Akihabara, Ueno and Shinjuku. Each of these areas offers unique experiences and insights into Japanese culture.
Aesthetics in every corner
Traveling through Japan is not only a discovery of the big cities, but also the quiet, idyllic places that are often overlooked. In Wigger's images, the liveliness of the urban regions complements the silence of the nature parks and traditional villages. The combination of modern life and deep-rooted traditions is an impressive feature of Japan that captures the hearts of travelers.
Japan is a country that not only has a lot to offer its visitors, but also encourages them to discover the beauty in the everyday. This journey has enriched Wigger in more ways than just aesthetics and reminds us that the little details often leave the biggest impressions.
