"My Neighborhood is Your Neighborhood" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Kazuki Hamatsu. Born in Odawara, Kanagawa Prefecture, Hamatsu spent about 10 years each in Gunma and Kochi prefectures before moving to the United States in 2003, where he studied photography, culture, and communication in San Francisco for six and a half years. After returning to Japan in 2009, he worked in a studio in Tokyo before becoming independent in 2012. While working on photography for magazines, books, and food, he continues to photograph people's lives and the ordinary scenes around them, with the theme of "the beauty that lingers in everyday life." The setting for this book is a small seaside town where a friend lives and a small town in central Tokyo where Hamatsu himself lives. By piecing together quiet scenes he encountered in the daily lives of each place—plants, streets, and fragments of interiors—he connects the two distant places through photographs. A distinctive feature is the "double-sided" binding, which allows the reader to start from either side. Whether you follow the pages from one town or the other, the two worlds eventually resonate within a single book. This book possesses the intimacy of a letter to a friend, allowing you to imagine each other's daily lives across distance.
