Japanese whaling. How many times can I mention it in one week….? Well, hopefully today is the third and last time this week. There is more to life, and more to being a photographer in Japan than photographing whaling. For instance you could photograph Mujirushi Ryohin, or as it is known the world over- MUJI.

Yep, interior decor, clothing, CEOs, I photograph them all. Such is editorial freelance world. A few weeks back I was working with Michael Booth of ‘Sushi and Beyond‘ fame, on this just published article about Muji for the Independent on Sunday Magazine. You also see the full take of my assignment photographs of Muji village and Muji store here.

And how does it relate to whaling you ask ? Well, stone the crows, fire the harpoon, Muji flagship store in Tokyo sells cans of whale meat. There ya go, get yourself some nice stationery, a white t-shirt, and a can of whale meat.
