An Instagram Account Dedicated to Japan’s Marvellous Facades
@ka_nai
A virtual gallery in the truest sense, this Instagram account catalogues numerous Japanese buildings, all full of artistic merit in spite of themselves. @ka_nai, the (anonymous) curator of the page, highlights various facades. Some are obsolete, others are redone, but all are fascinating with their intriguing geometry and symmetry.
Sometimes colourful or sometimes dilapidated, the photographer captures their images with atypical angle, aiming to focus only on a part or a detail of the building. While no photograph is alike, a certain harmony can be felt. Both delicate and poetic, this Instagram account highlights a varied and brilliant Japan.
