Decotora

by Masaru Tatsuki

Chromed up, with individual artworks on their panels and lit up like Christmas trees, these Japanese trucks and their proud owners (with sharp eyes for detail), form part of a distinct sub-culture in Japanese society. The full colour photographs, captured by Tatsuki Masaru in a project started in 1998, allow insights both into a personal and intimate world, and a unique aesthetic phenomenon.

"Decotora" is the Japanese word for a decorated truck and this photo-book is a love letter to this rather special form of art and its people.
