Chromaphone by Hikaru Funyu
A highly anticipated photo book by professional photographer and all round amazing dude - Hikaru Funyu.
Hikaru Funyu is a world-renowned photographer known for his work capturing and sharing the global BMX scene. His mobility and expressive photographic style have earned him recognition among riders worldwide.
This long-awaited photo book brings together a compelling collection of BMX riding photos and short interviews with 30 riders. It’s built around a central question that emerged during Funyu’s travels around the world:
“WHY DO YOU RIDE BMX IN THE STREETS?”
Through Funyu’s lens, we meet 30 street riders who live and breathe BMX in countries across the globe.
In Japan, street riding is often seen as “delinquent” or even criminal behavior.
So why do these riders choose the path of street riding?
This is not just a story about BMX.
It’s a record of human spirit—of people seeking light in the shadows of a suppressed world.
Designed by the creators SILENT- this hardback book is printed and bound in the UK.
