2010, Fukuoka

Rain is the first thing I remember about Fukuoka.

Sometimes it poured heavily, and sometimes it fell softly and steadily, but it seemed to rain almost every day. As I remember it, I had not even brought an umbrella. Instead, I wore a raincoat and kept traveling. It was cold, but I was still excited, and I enjoyed the trip with all my heart.

Perhaps because of the rain, the city felt even more memorable. Wet streets, gray skies, reflections on the pavement, and quiet corners of the city gave the trip its own atmosphere. I did not travel only to the places everyone else visited. I tried to follow different paths, choosing roads and scenes that felt a little less ordinary.

That may be why the photographs still remain vivid to me. Whether I took them on film or with a digital camera, almost every image came out beautifully. The rain, the mood, and the unfamiliar streets all came together in a way that made even ordinary moments feel special.

Looking back, Fukuoka was a cold and rainy trip, but also an exciting one. It was a journey that stayed beautiful in both memory and photographs.
