Mindy Tan's images portray the ordinary aspects of life in Kyoto, Japan, offering a completely different view from what tourists typically know about this place.
Kyoto, Japan, is renowned as one of the world's most attractive tourist cities. It is famous for its stunning temples, unique culture, enchanting geishas, vibrant shopping districts... all of which create a harmonious blend of classical and modern. However, alongside all of this is the everyday life of Kyoto's residents, which is also the beauty that not every visitor pays attention to.
Mindy Tan, a photographer, visited Japan for the first time and spent two weeks in Kyoto. Instead of photographing the well-known and famous landmarks, Mindy Tan chose to depict the everyday life of Kyoto's residents through the most authentic photographs.
