Pieces from his archive: vintage motorcycle helmets, a moccasin, bowl, ukulele and guitar В© Keisuki Fukamizu I only drive old cars вЂ“ the most modern one I have is a 1969 Jeep Wagoneer.

Sometimes we just drive along the coast of Japan, visiting little fishing villages. I like going to places that arenвЂ™t too developed or commercial, where I can be in untouched nature.
