About the class

A photo studio in Maruyama, Sapporo, run by the same family for three generations. It has photographed school entrances, weddings and farewells for the neighbourhood. Sessions are never rushed: each family gets a full hour, and you choose the final pictures together.

What you can do here

  • Have a family portrait taken
  • Have old photos copied
  • Take your photos home framed

From the teacher

School entrances, weddings, farewells: we've photographed them all in this room. Each family gets an hour, and we take our time.
Asahi, third-generation owner

Why this place supports social causes

Over three generations we have been entrusted with photographs of this neighbourhood, and I want the people who live here to be able to see them. Once a year, we hold an exhibition of old photos at the community hall.

From the place

Because this studio has long been the keeper of the neighbourhood's records, and says it wants to give what it has gathered back to the community.
Opens its space to the communityLooks after photographs of the neighbourhood and makes them available to see.

What the class cares about

  • An hour for each family

    We stay with you, unhurried, right through to choosing the photos after the shoot.

  • Three generations of neighbourhood photographs

    When we copy old photos, we repair the damage before returning them.
