Yamatani was heavily involved with Japan’s punk music scene as a teenager and only started taking photographs with his girlfriend’s camera in his early twenties. After a dispiriting stint as an assistant at a commercial photo studio, Yamatani set out to establish his own mode of photographic expression, embarking on a journey which would take him all the way down to Kyūshū in the south of Japan.
