The beach

The covert training camp
The covert training camp lies somewhere along the shores of southern Japan. I have no idea where i am, after being driven here for several hours, together with young Yakuza recruits who will be trained here.

Greeting Nakata-sensei, master swordsman, I realize very quickly that i am extremely lucky to be able to witness and photograph this…

Most of the images are under embargo right now, but i hope to be able to release them over the next few weeks and tell the story… but I didn’t want to hold back setting the mood already…

    All sounds very Hattori Hanzo my friend. Seems like you have an incredibly unique opportunity there. Can’t wait to see the images.

      hey jean
      no it’s not… it’s been around for a while… but recently revamped after a long time of inactivity due to BURN :-)
      well… not really “due to” of course, but I’m sure you know what i mean…
