The Canadian photographer Greg Girard only intended to stay a few days in Tokyo when he arrived in 1976. “I spent the night wandering around Shinjuku and nearby neighbourhoods, and by morning I knew I wanted to stay,” he says in his new book, JAL 76 88 (the initials stand for Japan Airlines, while the numbers refer to the years the work spans). He went on to live in Japan for four years and returned throughout the 1980s on photography assignments.
JAL 76 88 is published by Kominek Books on March 15 the book can be pre-ordered on Greg Girard’s website: https://www.greggirardpictures.com/product/jal-76-88-with-signed-print
