“The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner”

I never experienced the Japanese running culture myself but I’m regularly drawn to races and gossip about the local scene over there. The Japanese fashion of road racing is very passionate and intriguing.

On a recent expedition past Japanese websites I came across the great work of Shota Matsumoto, a Japanese photographer born in 1983 in Osaka who now calls Tokyo home. His “The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner” exhibition features some amazing racing and training pictures.

Check his website and enjoy the solitude.
