Johann Fleuri is a journalist of French origin. It was love at first sight on her first trip to Japan in 2009 and her passion for the country remains just as strong today. In 2015 Johann fulfilled her dreams by moving to Tokyo where she now writes for a wide range of foreign press on social issues. Photographer Pierre Javelle first visited Japan in 1998, returning many times over the years both as a tourist and then a resident. He has a deep knowledge of and respect for the country and in his photography strives to portray it without the stereotypes. Pierre's work appears in magazines and newspapers around the globe.
