minoru kaburagi

Minoru Kaburagi is a Tokyo-based photographer and filmmaker.

After spending more than a decade in New York working in fashion and advertising photography, he returned to Japan and developed a body of work exploring time, memory, and human presence.

For over ten years, he has documented fishing ports throughout Japan, creating long-term photographic projects that examine the relationship between landscape, labor, and disappearance.

His films continue this exploration through moving images, focusing on themes of absence, inheritance, fatherhood, and the passage of time.

His work has been exhibited in solo exhibitions in Japan, and his films have been screened and recognized at international film festivals including Tokyo Lift-Off and Berlin Indie Film Festival.
