Fatigue of Shibuya

FATIGUE OF SHIBUYA In Japan, it is common to avoid conflict or disagreement in most social confrontations. Japanese put on a facade called “tatemae” to hide their true feelings, especially within the context of large groups. “Honne” on the other hand, reflects the true self; the unmasked opinions and feelings. It is often the direct opposite of what is required according to one’s social position and circumstances. With this photo series, I got behind the “tatemae” curtain of people in Shibuya, Tokyo to see a glimpse of the genuine nature of “honne”.
