WithDekotora, Julie Glassberg turns her camera on one of Japan’s most singular roadside traditions. Trucks covered in painted imagery, chrome and electric light appear alongside intimate portraits of the drivers who devote years of work and personal expense to them. Glassberg looks beyond their theatrical surfaces to the friendships, pride and nostalgia that give the culture its life. Her photographs also record a tradition with roots in the late 1960s that survives today on a smaller scale. An absorbing photobook on the meeting of everyday labour and extraordinary visual invention.
