Field notes
The archive uses numbered plates and a geographic index rather than a conventional travel gallery. Its visible sequence includes both commercial and editorial-only entries, with Himeji described as photographed in rain and with few tourists. The project says its source material spans more than 50 destinations photographed over several years, while the current index contains 11 published plates and is intended to grow toward 100 places.
