BLIPS VOL.02

Min Seonhong @hikarino.houe is a photographer based between Tokyo and Seoul.

"BLIPS 02" is a sequence of memories unfolding from Zushi, a seaside town near Tokyo, through Hayama and on to Sajima. It began with a sunset he witnessed in Hayama in his twenties, and continues through fragments of memories gathered across multiple journeys, woven together into a single flow.

Looking for where it all began? BLIPS VOL.01 is also available.

Why Should You Buy This Zine?

• A photobook that physically opens the way it should — Bound using Coptic stitch, one of the oldest bookbinding techniques in existence, every spread opens completely flat at 180 degrees without resistance. No holding the pages down. No images disappearing into the gutter. Just the photograph, fully visible, quietly waiting for you.
• A coastal Japan you may have never noticed — Zushi, Hayama, Sajima. These are not the Japan of travel guides. BLIPS VOL.02 moves through the quiet light and unhurried pace of seaside towns just outside Tokyo, capturing something that feels familiar even if you've never been there — the particular color of an afternoon, the texture of a memory seen years later.
• The evolution of a photographer finding a new voice — Where BLIPS VOL.01 was all monochrome streets of Tokyo, this second volume opens into color. The shift isn't decorative. Color here is a new register of feeling, and 184 pages give it the room it needs to breathe.

This isn't simply a photobook about a coastal town near Tokyo.
It's a sequence of memories — someone else's, maybe yours — that keeps opening flat every time you come back to it.
