About Jian Jian 05 Magazine
Built around the idea of a Chinese character expressing duality as harmony rather than division, Jian Jian continues its exploration of photography as both image and reflection. Each issue invites readers into a quiet dialogue between what is seen and what is felt. Issue 05, If I Knew, is an intimate meditation on memory, place and hindsight. Set in the photographer’s hometown of Numazu, the volume drifts through abandoned streets, fading bustle and the overlooked corners of a city in gentle decline. Ordinary scenes, rubble, ruins, the residue of everyday life, are held with tenderness, transformed into something precious through the awareness of time passing. At its heart lies a simple yet devastating question: if you knew it was the last time, what would you have wished to remember? The recurring presence of Kiki, photographed without artifice or performance, anchors the work in quiet honesty. Captured by Sou Noaki, the images feel instinctive and unfiltered, as though time itself has paused. Born and raised in Numazu, Noaki turns away from postcard views of Mount Fuji and instead seeks the beauty that lingers after the crowds disperse. The residue of memory, the poetry of decay, and the unguarded presence of his subjects. Atmospheric and deeply reflective, Jian Jian 05 – If I Knew is a contemplative addition for collectors of independent photography and those drawn to visual storytelling shaped by nostalgia, loss and the fragile tenderness of ordinary life.
