0 - 100 years in Japan

100 Japanese people, from baby to 100 year-old. In April 2023 I visited Japan and shot this version of the 0-100 year project mostly in Tokyo. Contrary to how I usually work, I did not hit the streets to randomly approach people to ask them to participate. Japan asked for a more formal approach, contacting people through several networks of local assistants and enthusiasts who were so kind to help out. The result is this lovely series.

@@Kawaiicandy504as an American, I will say being American plays into it. Japan is very strict with their formal and informal language. American English compared to other English speaking countries has a lot of slang and informal language. We Americans just don’t put in as much effort in language than other countries/languages do. While American English isn’t the worst sounding as someone ages, it isn’t the best either.

[@larcenie]

you seem like a wonderful person, there’s no need to worry. for the majority of your life you’re “old” which means you really aren’t that old. 40 is considered kinda old, but for the people towards the end they were that age 60 years ago and are still kicking on strong (: no worries man. you have a wonderful, peaceful life ahead of you.

This is a beautiful realization that we're all the same and we keep coming and going. I just love people even more now.

This helps me realize what I really want to be before I turn that old and probably helpless.

I think your perception of the elderly was simply flawed, so now seeing humans of all ages displays truly how humans age. But, due to the video consisting of eastern humans rather than european humans, you instead attributed their surpringly young appearance to them being Japanese.

Amazing people and culture!! They are so polite!! I'm from Malaysia and we, as part of the Rotary Club was hosting some young Japanese traveller. I recall his name was Takeuchi. We all had dinner at a restaurant when unfortunately the subject of WWII inadvertently came up. Our guest Takeuchi-san stood up, bowed his head and with sadness and remorse apologized to us for Japanese atrocities in Malaya and the world during WWII. We were so surprised and taken aback. There was stunned silence... Then he sat down and we all smiled and continued our dinner in a happy but respectful mood. Takeuchi-san, wherever you are, all the best.

[@craftmarne]

​@@galaxydave3807 While it is true that people do not choose their nationality, they can still develop a sense of pride in their country through their connection to its culture, values, accomplishments, or contributions. National pride can manifest as an appreciation for one's country's history, cultural traditions, natural beauty, or societal progress. Having pride or some attachment to one's country is in my opinion normal and healthy behavior.
